Ted A. Broer Stadium

Ted A. Broer Stadium

Opened in the spring of 2004, Ted A. Broer Stadium is the home of the Southeastern Fire baseball team. The state-of-the-art baseball facility was designed to resemble a smaller version of Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox.

Broer Stadium was designed by Duane Aagaard, former Southeastern University athletic director, and Frank Yurchak, former SEU baseball coach. The two also received assistance from the New York Yankees grounds crew, with the end result being one of the finest college baseball parks in the state of Florida.

Stadium History

The first game at Broer Stadium was played on April 7, 2004, when Webber International University defeated Southeastern, 7-5.

Southeastern earned its first victory at the stadium against Florida Memorial University on April 15, 2004, with Eric Haynes earning the win on the mound for the Fire.

In August 2004, Southeastern hired Head Coach Jason Beck. The Fire captured their first baseball national championship as Broer Stadium hosted the 2005 NCCAA II National Tournament.

From 2005 through 2008, Broer Stadium hosted four consecutive NCCAA II National Tournaments. During that span, Southeastern won all four NCCAA II national titles and compiled a perfect 17-0 record in national tournament play.

In 2010, the Fire joined the NAIA's The Sun Conference and hosted their first Sun Conference game on February 26, 2010. Southeastern fell to Embry-Riddle University, 7-6.

The Fire earned their first home Sun Conference victory against Edward Waters College on March 19, 2010. Justin Mauldin earned the win on the mound, while Tyler Ruehlman, Hector Echemendia, and Auburn Donaldson each collected three hits.

Southeastern won 16 consecutive games at Broer Stadium during the 2011 season, setting a new school record. The Fire finished the year 20-5 at home and earned their first-ever national ranking in the NAIA.
