Bart Kaufman Field is a baseball field in Bloomington, Indiana. It is home of the Indiana Hoosiers baseball team.{{Cite web|url=http://springtrainingonline.com/201109271546/news/arizona-state-to-share-new-cubs-training-complex.htm|title=Arizona State to share new Cubs training complex|date=27 September 2011}} The capacity of the facility is 2,500 spectators. It is named after Bart Kaufman, an alumnus who played from 1960–1962. In 1961 he was the second-leading hitter (.452) in the Big Ten to longtime Detroit Tigers player Bill Freehan of the University of Michigan. Kaufman pledged $2.5 million to get the project going. Many teammates contributed to name the Indiana dugout after longtime baseball coach Ernie Andres. Much of the cost, reported to be in excess of $19 million including Andy Mohr Field for softball, was funded by proceeds from the Big Ten Network.

The stadium hosted an NCAA Regional in its first two years of existence; it marked the first two times the IU baseball program has played tournament games on campus. Bart Kaufman Field hosted its first Big Ten baseball tournament from May 24 to 28, 2017.{{cite web |title=Bart Kaufman Field to host Big Ten Tournament|url=http://iuhoosiers.com/news/2017/1/19/indiana-to-host-2017-big-ten-baseball-tournament.aspx?path=baseball|publisher=Indiana University Athletics|year=2017|accessdate=March 2, 2017}}
