Doak Field (or The Doak) is a baseball venue which opened in 1966 as home to the North Carolina State University Wolfpack college baseball team of the NCAA's Division I Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC).[1] The stadium is located in Raleigh, North Carolina on NC State's West Campus, behind Lee and Sullivan residence halls.[2] Its seated capacity is 2,200 spectators. Doak Field hosted the ACC Baseball Tournament in both 1974 and in 1980. The NC State team won the championship in 1974, while Clemson won in 1980.[3]

In May 2004 the stadium underwent a $6 million renovation which included leveling the playing field, a new drainage system, new grandstands, a new press box, and new concessions and bathroom facilities.[3]

In 2010, the Wolfpack ranked 50th in Division I college baseball in attendance, averaging 1,117 per home game.[4]

The student section of the grandstands along the third base line is known as Avent's Army. It is named for NC State baseball coach Elliott Avent.[5]
