The Blue Eagles play their home games on the campus of Wofford College.

Field History

A commitment in excess of $1 million from a trustee and former Terrier baseball player made it possible for Wofford College to play its home games on campus again.

In May 2003, the Wofford Board of Trustees approved the $1.8 million project which bears the name of Russell C. King Field. The new field is located at the former baseball facility on campus. A former chairman, King has served on the Wofford Board of Trustees for 22 years. King is part of a three generation family at Wofford that also includes an athletic background. His father, Russell Calvin King '29, played baseball and football for the Terriers as did one of his four uncles who attended Wofford. King's son, Russell C. King III '81, is also a Wofford graduate.

Russell C. King '56 made it possible for NCAA baseball to return to campus after an eight-year absence. Since beginning Division I play in 1996, Wofford had played its games off-campus at Duncan Park, a former minor league baseball facility. The Terriers' existing baseball field did not meet Division I standards. Lights were installed at Russell C. King Field. The first-ever night game at Wofford took place March 10, 2004, when the Terriers hosted Clemson. Other components of the facility include a major gift from Toccoa Switzer and her family for the construction of the seating area, which has 833 permanent seats located behind home plate. Grass banks behind each dugout bring the total capacity to near 2,500. A series of rocking chairs, overlooking the field, highlights the plaza area.

The Switzer family also has a long relationship with Wofford, spanning four generations. Toccoa Switzer is a former member of the Wofford Board of Trustees. Her late husband, James L. Switzer Sr. '40 and his father, Dr. Paul K. Switzer '07, are Wofford graduates as are her two sons, James L. Switzer Jr. '80 and Dr. Paul K. Switzer III '77. The next generation has begun, as Toccoa's granddaughter, Lizzie Switzer 2007, is a sophomore on campus.
