IWU's baseball field, dedicated in 1999, is named in honor of Jack Horenberger (a 1936 Illinois Wesleyan graduate), who served on the IWU faculty for 38 years, coaching baseball from 1942-81 and basketball from 1945-65. Construction of the ballpark was the first step in a master plan aimed at upgrading IWU's outdoor athletic facilities in the late 1990s. Among Horenberger Field's features are a tiered grandstand with seating for over 350 (including predominantly chair-back seating), lighting, home and visiting team dugouts, a batting cage and picnic area.
