Tucked away on Duke’s campus, Jack Coombs Field is the home of Duke University’s baseball team and has been a cornerstone of the program for generations. The field, named after the legendary Duke coach who led the team for over two decades, features a newly installed synthetic turf surface that allows for play in all weather conditions. Spectator seating wraps around the infield, and the unique setting of the stadium, with a natural hill along the first base line for additional fan seating, creates a classic, incredibly scenic, and engaging baseball experience. The facility includes indoor batting facilities and training areas that support year-round baseball activities.
