Husky Field is a baseball venue on the campus of Houston Christian University[a] in Houston, Texas, United States. It is home to the Houston Christian Huskies baseball team of the NCAA Division I Southland Conference. Opened in 1993, it has a capacity of 500 spectators. The facility features a press box, natural grass surface, a covered warm-up area connected to the home bullpen, and a 7,200 square-foot indoor facility located down the right field line.[3] Lights were added around the perimeter of the field in late-2024, allowing for night games to be played beginning in 2025.[4] The first home night game in ballpark history took place on February 14, 2025 against Central Michigan.[5][6] Husky Field hosted the 2008 Red River Athletic Conference Baseball Tournament and the 2007 NAIA Region IV Tournament.[7] The facility also hosted the best-of-three championship round of the 2025 Southland Conference baseball tournament.[8]
First night game
The Huskies played their first ever night game on campus during the second game of a doubleheader against Central Michigan on February 14, 2025. After getting shutout 6–0 in game one, Houston Christian began the nightcap of their doubleheader during the evening at 5:30 pm. The Huskies' bats woke up with a four-run bottom 1st all with two outs, and a fifth run was added in the bottom 2nd. Nighttime fell by the third inning. HCU pitching held the visiting Chippewas to four hits in the seven-inning nightstand, lifting the Huskies to a 5–0 victory to split the doubleheader. 389 spectators were in attendance for the historic game.[9][10]
