Hoy Field, located on the central campus, has been the home of Cornell baseball since 1922. The complex features batting cages - dedicated in memory of Kerry Brooks ‘90 - bullpens and dugouts. A press box, sound system, electronic scoreboard - a gift from the Class of 1962 - and bleacher seating for roughly 500 fans surround the field.
The field is rich in tradition. It was named in honor of David F. Hoy, Class of 1891 (of "Give My Regards To Davy" fame), who served as the baseball faculty advisor for many years. The first Cornell baseball game at Hoy Field was played on April 22, 1922, against Colgate, and the field has been home to many great Cornell players over the years. It has also seen its share of famous opponents, including Major League Baseball Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig.
With the help of numerous parents and alumni, the field underwent a major renovation prior to the 2007 season.The old playing field was re-oriented on the land it sat upon, eliminating the short outfield dimensions down the foul lines. The playing surface was also replaced with FieldTurf, allowing the Big Red to get outside much earlier each spring than with the previous grass surface. Additionally, new dugouts, a grandstand and a press box were constructed, adding to the enjoyment of players and fans alike. With the improvements to Hoy Field, the facility is now one of the top collegiate baseball diamonds in the northern half of the country.
