Milton Wheeler Field
Milton Wheeler Field became the home of Crusader Baseball in 2006. Named for longtime WCU Professor of History, Dr. Milton Wheeler, MWF is one of the best facilities in the NAIA, as well as the Southeast. The stadium features 318 chairback seats with an additional 180 bleacher seats, as well as a fully supported press box and Presidential Suite. The terrace has multiple bench seats and picnic tables to view games from up top. The playing surface of Milton Wheeler Field is second to none in the NAIA and is equipped with an artificial turf home plate area displaying the university's nickname. MWF has large, sunken dugouts that house restrooms, fountains, and storage. The bullpens have multiple pitcher's mounds and artificial turf catcher's landings.
Following a tornado in 2017, all lights at Milton Wheeler Field were replaced with new, LED lighting that make night games easy for viewing. The wooded backdrop makes Milton Wheeler Field one of the best places to watch baseball in the Southeast!
