Walt Driggers Field is a baseball park located in Abilene, TX, and it is the home of the McMurry War Hawks collegiate baseball program of McMurry University. The field was designed and built by Anglea Sports Fields, which is headed by former Globe Life Park in Arlington superintendent Jim Anglea. McMurry played its first game at Walt Driggers Field on February 12, 1997 with a 7-3 win against Wayland Baptist Pioneers. The school officially renamed the field before a home game against the Lubbock Christian Chaparrals shortly thereafter.

Location

The facility is located just east of McMurry's campus across the street from the Ryan Fine Arts Center.
