History

One of the oldest Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) in the country, Florida A&M opened its doors in 1887 and fielded its first team in 1899, just 12 years later. In 1983 the Rattlers moved to Moore-Kittles Field. Featuring natural grass and a low seating capacity, Moore-Kittles Field is baseball in its purist form.


Atmosphere

Moore-Kittles Field feels like a neighborhood ballpark in the best way. There is limited bleacher seating, but most fans bring lawn chairs. Some fans even bring their lawn chairs and set up in the outfield, and the park is tucked into a neighborhood on the edge of campus, so many fans walk from home. There's no shade, so definitely plan to bring some sun cover, but FAMU fans are passionate and help make the game fun even in early season low stakes matchups. Parking and admission is free, making it easy to pop into a game if you're in town.


Concessions

FAMU has no concession stand - this may change later in the season, but was true at the 2/28/26 game. There are plenty of fast food places near the stadium, though, and I saw many fans bring in their own food and drinks to make up for it.


Access

Campus is relatively easy to get to, and parking is free at the lot adjacent to the park. It's also only about 2 miles from Florida State, so easy to get from one school to another if you're able to swing two games in a day. It's just a few miles off I-10, and has plenty of hotels close to the stadium if you're coming in from out of town.


Final Thoughts

Overall, for the purist in your life, Moore-Kittles Field is the place to be. There may not be a videoboard, fancy lights, or even chairbacks - but there is good, fun baseball played the way it's always been meant to; in a neighborhood with the stands full of people just happy to watch the game.
