Baseball Field

Robertson Field, the home of Allegheny Baseball, is located within the 203-acre Robertson Athletic Complex. The area was first cleared in the 1950s, and in the late 1980s, Allegheny College built the permanent baseball-only facility. The facility includes a batting cage, which sits along the right-field fence, allowing easy access for in-game use, and two spacious dugouts behind each baseline.

During the early part of the spring season, the Gators have the luxury of utilizing two full-length indoor batting cages inside the David V. Wise Sport and Fitness Center. The indoor facilities allows the team to throw live bullpen sessions to hitters and engage in other baseball-related activities.

Softball Field

The field, which opened in 1992, has played host to the 1994, 1995 and 1996 NCAA Division III Regional Softball Championships, as well as the 2004 and 2008 NCAC Softball Tournaments. The newly-installed permanent outfield fence sits at 200 feet to left and right field and 210 feet to center field. The facility includes a batting cage, which sits behind the field.

The softball complex also features 25-foot long dugouts, a 25-foot high backstop, a full-field underground watering system, a full-field tarpaulin, an 8x15-foot electronic scoreboard, a fully-enclosed press box, a sound system, spacious locker rooms and a fully-enclosed permanent fence.
