Knights Field has been the home of both the Bellarmine baseball program and softball program since the facility was built in 1954. Featuring neighboring diamonds for each respective program’s use, each have been seeded with natural grass and are located in a beautiful setting at the face of the campus, Knights Field offers a scenic view and a classic softball experience for all attendees.
Featuring covered dugouts, bullpens, a batting cage and an elevated press box, it has everything needed to develop the modern student-athlete. The home dugout lies to the outside of the first base line. A 20-foot-high fence lines the outfield with the scoreboard sitting just outside of right field. The dimensions of Knights Field are 220 feet to left, 225 to dead center and 220 down the right field line, with each power alley measuring at 223 feet.
Traditional seating at Knights Field is bleacher style, seating approximately 300, but this is far from the only method in which the fans can take in the game. A perk of the field being located at the bottom of natural rolling hillsides is the unique perspective it offers for watching the Knights play softball. The neighboring hills follow a graded upward slope, which Knights Nation has made a tradition of utilizing as their own form of seating. This method began to catch on with more and more fans each year and has since become a staple of enjoying a game at Knights Field.
In the spring of 2012, the eyes of the D-II world were on Louisville and Bellarmine as it was the site of 2012 D-II Spring Championship Festival, where six national champions were crowned. During the festival, Knights Field was the host site for the D-II Softball National Championship.
