Dot Hicks Field is a softball park in Huntington, West Virginia where it is home to Marshall University's softball team.
Background
Built in 2008, the $2.5 million facility features a clubhouse, grandstands, pressbox and concession building, warmup areas, and the playing field.[3] The field is named after Dorothy "Dot" Hicks, who was a donor and former coach of Marshall's volleyball, badminton, women's tennis and women's golf teams.[4] An inaugural double-header took place on March 15, 2008. The Thundering Herd lost to Houston in both games, 17–2 and 10–2 respectively.[5] Marshall set a home-attendance record crowd of 2,768 at The Dot on April 18, 2023, when they hosted and lost 3–1 to #13 ranked Alabama.[6]
