It hosts the University of Notre Dame Fighting Irish college baseball team.

The stadium was named after Frank Eck, an alumnus, benefactor and advisor to the university.

In June 1991, the university announced a decision to build a new baseball stadium southeast of the Joyce Center.

These upgrades include, but are not limited to: a 9,000-square foot indoor hitting and pitching facility; a complete remodel of the locker rooms to include 36 brand new, 30-inch wood lockers, including four specially designed corner lockers for the catchers, as well as flat-screen, HD televisions and installation of FieldTurf for the entire field.
