Doak Field at Dail Park

In 1997, Doak Field hosted the Raleigh RedWolves, a collegiate summer baseball team of the Coastal Plain League.[7]

In May 2004, the stadium underwent a

$6 million renovation which included leveling the playing field, a new drainage system, new grandstands, a new press box, and new concessions and bathroom facilities.[5]

Since the renovation was completed in 2004, the dimensions at Doak Field are asymmetrical at 320 feet down the left-field line, 370 feet to the left-field power alley, 400 feet to straightaway center field, 375 feet to the right-field power alley, and 330 down the right-field line. The wall from the left-field line to deep left-center field is 16 feet high, then drops to eight feet high all the rest of the way around to right field.[8]

In 2013, the Wolfpack ranked 33rd among Division I baseball programs in attendance, averaging 1,994 per home game.[9] In 2014, the Wolfpack ranked 45th in attendance, averaging 1,344 per home game.[10]

The student section of the grandstands along the

third base line is known as Avent's Army. It is named for NC State baseball coach Elliott Avent.[11]
