2. The grandstand at Warrior Field.

The ballpark was built in 2007 to replace another on-campus field. The park officially opened on February 23rd, 2008 when Hendrix played a doubleheader against Blackburn College, winning both games.

Warrior Field features a small, metal, bleacher-style grandstand behind homeplate, capable of seating 200 spectators. In addition, a press box is located atop the uncovered grandstand. Adjacent to the park is a softball field with similar features.

3. The scoreboard, located in right field.

Warrior Field lacks several of the amenities commonly found at collegiate ballparks. These include a netted backstop, easily accessible concessions and restrooms, and a collegiate-level scoreboard. The ballpark is not among the finest in Arkansas, but is nevertheless suitable for Hendrix.
