Right Field - 301Tenants Michigan State Spartans baseball team Drayton McLane Baseball Stadium at John H. Kobs Field is a baseball stadium in East Lansing, Michigan. It is the home field for the Michigan State University Spartans college baseball team. The stadium holds roughly 4,000 people and opened for baseball in 1925. The facility received a US$4.2 million renovation in 2009. The field itself is named after former MSU baseball coach John Kobs, and the stadium facility is named after Houston Astros owner and Michigan State alumni Drayton McLane, whose donation allowed for the construction of the new facility.
Prior to the baseball team's usage of the stadium, the football team used it from 1902 to 1923 before Spartan Stadium was opened.
High school and amateur baseball games also take place at Kobs Field. It was the largest baseball stadium in the Lansing area until the completion of Oldsmobile Park.
