Originally known simply as George S. Erath Field, the venue was renamed George S. Erath Field at Coy O. Williard Baseball Stadium in 2007, following the construction of a seating structure with 501 chairback seats, a press box, concessions, and restrooms. In 2009, a FieldTurf halo was added around home plate, and the warning track was renovated. In 2010, the right center field fence was lowered to allow for better spectator sightlines. Additionally, an irrigation system and scoreboard have been added since 2001, and the infield has been renovated.[1]
The venue hosted the 2012 Big South Conference baseball tournament,[3] won by Coastal Carolina.[4]
In 2012, college baseball writer Eric Sorenson ranked the facility the fourth best small venue in Division I baseball.[5]
