History

University Field, located on the east side of campus near the intersection of Pelham Road ( SR-21) and Nisbet Street ( SR-204), served as the original home field of the Jacksonville State Gamecocks baseball team, most notably during their 1990 and 1991 Division II national championship seasons. When

opened in 1995, the baseball team relocated there. In 1996, after the university's athletic teams began Division I play in the Trans-America Athletic Conference, the softball team began its tenure at University Field with a doubleheader over Tennessee State. University Field was renovated prior to the 2013 season with expanded seating, including chairback seating behind home plate, and new dugouts.
