Chapman Field is located in Corpus Christi, TX. The facility has both a baseball field, home to the Texas A&M–Corpus Christi Islanders baseball team and a softball field, home to the Texas A&M–Corpus Christi Islanders softball team. The facility was renamed after John and Louise Chapman before the beginning of the 2007 baseball season.[1] Whataburger Field is used instead of Chapman Field for some baseball early season tournaments and also some big matchups (i.e. Texas A&M or Rice).
Major renovations to both fields were made in 2011 and 2012. Renovations included new bleachers, new lighting for baseball, a new field surfaces, new irrigation, new bullpens, as well as windscreens around the fence. The baseball bleacher system was replaced and the old system was moved to the softball field.[2][3]
A common press box is used for both the baseball and the softball fields.[4]
