Yellow Jacket Field

Yellow Jacket Field opened for the 2000 baseball season and is located at the north end of the campus just west of Route 72.

The baseball venue includes a natural turf field with a Diamond Pro surface on the infield as well as the 15-foot warning track that leads up to an eight-foot high wooden fence elevating to 12 feet in centerfield.

The outfield dimensions are 330 feet down each line, 383 in the power alleys, and 402 to center.

The site includes 50-foot long dugouts, a press box, electronic scoreboard, and seating for 500 people. The entire field includes an automatic irrigation system and drainage.

The baseball field is part of an athletic complex that includes cross country, golf, soccer, softball, and track & field.

The project, which features a picnic pavilion and concession stand, was completed under the design and leadership of then athletic director Pete Reese.
