ATHLETICS FACILITIES
GEORGE M. SMART ATHLETIC CENTER
CORESSEL STADIUM
DC BASEBALL 2012 Yellow Jacket Baseball utilizes several facilities on the Defiance College campus. Whether the team is competing against a Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference rival at Craig A. Rutter Field, or eating a pre-game meal at the Serrick Campus Center, DC coaches, administration and staff are devoted to providing the squad with the best facilities possible. Rutter Field sits in the center of the DC athletics complex. The press box was finished in 2004 and is equipped with full sound capabilities, which provide the Yellow Jackets and their fans with an energetic pre-game atmosphere. A unique crushed brick infield with all grass baselines and a compacted limestone warning track accent a Kentucky Bluegrass and Perennial Rye field. All this is complimented by visiting and home dugouts, bullpens and the ‘Green Monster’ in center field. DC recently opened its 84,000 square-foot field house in February of 2012. The multi-purpose floor provides additional training areas for all 22 varsity athletic programs at Defiance College. The George also boasts a full athletic training room, expanded fitness and free-weight areas and two full-length batting cages.
