The stadium holds 4,000 people and opened in 1923. Ray Fisher Stadium received extensive renovations and was reopened as part of the University's Wilpon Baseball and Softball Complex in 2008. The stadium's location was formerly known as Ferry Field prior to its dedication on May 23, 1970 as Ray Fisher Stadium.
