[edit]Hawley Field
[edit]West Virginia joined the Big 12 Conference following the 2012 season. Since Hawley Field does not meet Big 12 Conference standards, and the state legislature turned down a plan for a taxpayer funded replacement, the Mountaineers played three of their four 2013 home conference series at Appalachian Power Park in Charleston and one at Linda K. Epling Stadium in Beckley (160 and 185 miles from campus, respectively). Non-conference games continued to be played at Hawley Field.[5] In 2013, plans were announced to build a new venue in the nearby town of Granville for the Mountaineers baseball team.[6] The new park, ultimately known as Monongalia County Ballpark, was opened during the 2015 season.[7]
Attendance
[edit]In 2013, the Mountaineers ranked 50th among Division I baseball programs in attendance, averaging 1,328 per home game.[8]
