II: 14’ tall & 50’ long Hennon Stadium has been home to the Western Carolina University baseball program for 32 years.

The baseball facility was officially renamed Childress Field at Hennon Stadium in a dedication ceremony on April 23, 1994.

Whitmire, a baseball supporter and benefactor from Franklin, North Carolina were the driving forces behind the building of the facility.

A 36-inch red brick wall was built that stretches between the dugouts in front of the new Yankee Stadium-style slatted seats.

A batter’s eye has been attached to the centerfield fence and the “purple monster” in left field was repainted.
