History
Prior to the construction of Villanova Ballpark at Plymouth, the Wildcats played their home games on campus at McGeehan Field until 1998 and at Richie Ashburn Field in Philadelphia from 1999 to 2002. The new ballpark opened on March 23, 2003, with a 13-inning 3–2 victory over No. 19 Notre Dame, marking a memorable start to the stadium's history.[1]
In 2016, the facility underwent significant renovations, including the installation of a state-of-the-art synthetic turf infield and a sub-base drainage system. These improvements enhanced the stadium's durability and allowed for minimal maintenance and fewer weather-related cancellations.[2]
