Jack Cook Field is a baseball stadium in Huntington, West Virginia. It is the current home field for Marshall University's baseball team and for the Tri-State Coal Cats in the Appalachian League.[2] The field is named after former longtime Marshall head baseball coach, Jack Cook.
In October 2022, Marshall officially broke ground on a new baseball stadium located on 3rd Avenue and 22nd Street next to Dot Hicks Field and across the street from Joan C. Edwards Stadium. West Virginia Governor Jim Justice donated $13.8 million towards the project with the City of Huntington and Marshall University also contributing nearly $10 million to help fund the stadium with an estimated $23 million cost.[3] University officials announced on June 21, 2023, that the facility would be named Jack Cook Field in honor of former Marshall baseball coach Jack Cook. It was also announced that the clubhouse would be named in honor of former Marshall baseball player Alex Lawrence.[4]
The stadium hosted its first game on March 1, 2024 when Marshall defeated Manhattan, 3-0, in front of a crowd of 3,124.[5]
