Approximately $41 million has been committed to date through philanthropy and other sources. The majority of funds have been provided by leadership gifts from Katie Garrett Boehly ’95 and Todd Boehly ’96, as well as Jennifer Tepper Mackesy ’91 and D. Scott Mackesy ’91. Baseball: Plumeri Park (1,000)Plumeri Park has been home to the William & Mary Tribe baseball team since 1999. The facility was constructed in large part due to the generous donation by Mr. Joseph J. Plumeri II in the autumn of 1996. The 1,000-seat lighted facility features a grandstand, team locker rooms, press box, concession space and state-of-the-art scoreboard. Additionally, the Plumeri Park Practice Facility was dedicated during the 2016 season. The indoor facility overlooks the field, running up the third base line, and provides the program with more than 5,700 square feet of crucial "all-weather" practice space. With wall-to-wall artificial turf, there are three 15 feet by 75 feet areas for batting and pitching, complete with netting and pitching mounds. Additionally, there are areas for specialized training equipment for strength, speed, agility and skills development. Other recent improvements to the facility include the addition of a 10-foot artificial turf halo behind the home plate area, bi-level wooden benches in the dugouts, natural grass base lines on each foul line and stadium padding on the backstop. Field Hockey: Busch Field (2,271)Busch Field has been the permanent home of the Tribe field hockey team since 1990, and was renovated with a watering system in the summer of 2009. 2012 improvements included an Astroturf System 90(TM) surface and an upgraded computerized lighting system. The field and grandstand were made possible by a generous donation from the Anheuser-Busch Corporation, and was formally dedicated in the fall of 1989. Soccer: Martin Family Stadium at Albert-Daly Field (Capacity?)Longtime athletic benefactors Jim and Bobbie Ukrop (classes of '60 and '61, respectively) spearheaded the creation of the new field with a $500,000 challenge grant and suggested the facility honor longtime men's soccer coach Al Albert women's soccer coach John Daly. The $1 million natural grass field is adjacent to W&M's baseball stadium, Plumeri Park, located at the College's Dillard complex. The Tribe received yet another facility upgrade in the spring of 2011. The new stadium - the Martin Family Stadium at Albert-Daly Field - named in honor of Eff and Patty Martin, and their children, Andrew, Christine and Julia '09 - is a 1,000-seat pavilion, which features a state-of-the-art press box, filming positions and restroom facilities. Tennis: Mackesy Tennis Center at the Millie West Courts (Capacity?)As part of the university’s $55-million All In fundraising plan for William & Mary Athletics, Tribe tennis will receive a complete revitalization of the outdoor tennis facility. Mackesy Tennis Center at the Millie West Courts will include all new courts, elevated seating platforms, new bleachers and the installation of a scoreboard, among other enhancements. The facility, which is an important component of the new W&M Athletics Complex, was made possible by Jennifer Tepper Mackesy '91 and D. Scott Mackesy '91, both honorary co-chairs of All In. McCormack-Nagelsen Tennis Center (362)The facility was made possible through a generous gift from Mark H. McCormack, a 1951 graduate of William and Mary, and his wife, world-class tennis professional Betsy Nagelsen. As the former chairman, president and chief executive officer of International Management Group, McCormack was widely recognized as the founder of the sports marketing industry. The company represents such athletes as Pete Sampras and Monica Seles.

The facility also includes member and team locker rooms, several spacious lobbies and spectator viewing that boasts 362 stadium seats as well as a mezzanine seating area. In addition, the ITA and Rolex generously donated a state-of-the-art electronic scoreboard. The Intercollegiate Tennis Association's Women's Tennis Hall of Fame contains a collection of artifacts and records pertaining to collegiate women's tennis, and enshrines former players, coaches and contributors that have impacted the sport. The Hall of Fame also functions as a library, archive and research center for intercollegiate women's tennis. Gymnastics: Williamsburg GymnasticsWilliamsburg Gymnastics is a state of the art gymnastics training facility. It houses the Tribe’s Men’s and Women’s Varsity teams. The facility can accommodate both of W&M men’s and women’s teams at the same time. The many developmental and progressive training stations are very valuable to all the athletes as they improve and increase their skill difficulty and proficiency. It has loose foam pits for all events to help keep the athletes safe. We are very excited to have Williamsburg Gymnastics as our teammate in the pursuit of excellence for gymnastics at William & Mary. Swimming: Bee McLeod Recreation CenterThe Tribe swimming team holds practices and home meets in the W&M Rec Center, in an eight-lane, 25-yard pool. The facility includes a fully-automatic Daktronics scoring system and scoreboard, and a new stereo and PA system installed in the last three years. When combined with the College's customary standing-room-only crowds, that makes the Rec Center one of the loudest and toughest places to swim in the conference and the region. The Joseph W. Montgomery Strength Training CenterThe Joseph W. Montgomery Strength Training Center is located on the lower level of Kaplan Arena. This 5,000-square-foot facility contains 16,000 lbs. of free weights, 10,000 pounds of dumbbells, and 7,500 pounds of bumper plates.

Elon UniversityThe turn of the last century saw the foundation of then-Elon College athletics begin to form. The school's first intercollegiate athletic event came in 1900 when the school played two baseball games against Guilford College in a home-and-home series and the first gymnasium was built in 1905. Football began play in 1909, while men's basketball followed in 1911. The Elon Phoenix is the official mascot of Elon University. All of Elon's varsity teams currently compete in sports sponsored by the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) and competes in the NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision, fielding 17 varsity teams in 11 sports.

The Phoenix swept the two games that day by scores of 10-2 and 7-6. The playing field is known as Newsome Field and was dedicated on April 29, 1978 in honor of Wilburn E. “Webb” Newsome who played football and baseball and boxed at Elon.

Bob Barker, class of 1965, is chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Bob Barker Company, the industry's largest supplier of institutional products and supplies for correctional and rehabilitation facilities worldwide. Lights were added to the facility prior to the 2012 season, allowing the Camels more options for practice times, as well as greater flexibility for broadcasts and other sporting events. The four 110-foot poles, two on each side of the stadium, feature 42 each and 168 total fixtures, providing 100 foot candle on all portions of the playing field. The West stand was completed in 2013 and includes 3,000 seats; with 867 chair back seats, plus bleacher back seating as well as new restroom and concession facilities. In 2016, Barker-Lane received a huge upgrade to the game-day experience with the installation of a state-of-the-art high-definition Daktronics video board just beyond the north endzone. The screen boasts a 24'-7 " height and 42'-4" width. Prior to the 2018 season, a new AstroTurf surface was installed, featuring orange end zones featuring white script reading "Campbell" and "Camels". At midfield, a silhouette of North Carolina, spanning 20 yards, contains the Campbell Athletics logo. The press box is 80 feet high with elevator access to all floors. The building includes an executive level on the second floor just above the top row of bleachers and houses a central President's Suite with seating for 40. There are also two exterior patios on the north and south. The third floor houses a 3,800 square foot central press area with seating for 50, including home and visitor radio locations, an official box, and booths for both the visiting and home coaching staff. Video link Warren Athletic CenterWarren Athletic Center is a multi-purpose room for gatherings and team meetings that may be sectioned into multiple rooms. Coaching staff offices and the coaches locker room, plus a conference room, video room and equipment room are also located within the building. The Warren Center also houses an on-site athletic training room that includes whirlpool, ice machine and training tables. The home locker room features lockers for 120 football players, while the visitor locker room includes 80 lockers and can be sectioned into two separate rooms. Burt Family Sports Performance CenterIn January 2015, the Burt Family Sports Performance Center opened. The nearly 6,000 square foot facility, located in the southeast corner of Barker-Lane Stadium, features 900 square feet of sport turf, 12 state-of-the-art custom Hammer Strength combo racks with inlaid Olympic lifting platforms, six glute hamstring developers and four Hammer Strength plate loaded machines. The training facility also includes two Pit Shark belt squat machines, custom iron grip dumbbells, custom plyometric jumping boxes and a comprehensive nutrition and hydration station. Basketball, Volleyball, Wrestling: Gore Arena/Pope Convocation Center (3,095)The $34 million project includes 3,095 (all chair back) seats for basketball games at Gilbert Craig Gore Arena, in addition to a 1,200-square foot Presidential hospitality suite. Fans in attendance not only experience the excitement of college athletics, but are also entertained by state-of-the-art lighting, scoreboard, video and audio systems. For Convocation or graduation, the building will hold up to 4,000. In 2016 Gore Arena underwent major facilities upgrades, including the installation of a new four-sided, center-hung LED display scoreboard and video board, plus eight new LED courtside tables, four on each sideline. In addition, a new paint scheme was applied throughout the building with new graphic images and new Spalding basket supports were added. Locker rooms for the Campbell University men's and women's basketball teams each measure 1,400 square feet and include separate lounge/video review areas and coaches dressing rooms. Dressing rooms are also provided for Campbell's volleyball and wrestling programs, as well as game officials and visiting teams. A new floor was installed during the summer of 2020, complete with a redesigned Camel logo within the outline of the State of North Carolina. The facility saw another major addition in 2018, with the expansion of the wrestling center, more than tripling mat space, while also expanding the Camels' locker room and workout areas, and providing other amenities. The wrestling program now benefits from the use of a 7,000 square foot training area, which more than accommodates three regulation mats, plus cardio, strength and lounge facilities. The building includes a 3,000-square foot weight room devoted to Campbell University athletes. Additionally, Campbell's basketball and volleyball programs also have the ability to work out at the same time, thanks to the 6,800 square foot Fred McCall practice gymnasium, which is located just a few paces from the men's basketball locker room. Video linkCarter GymHome of the Camels from 1953-2008, the 2007-08 season marked the final year that venerable historic Carter Gymnasium. Some of basketball greats, including Bob Cousy, John Wooden, Pete Maravich and Michael Jordan, have passed through the Carter Gym doors as instructors at the Campbell Basketball School. Maravich attended the camp every year from age nine through 18. The most famous game played at the building was probably the February 29, 1964 contest between Angier -vs- Boone Trail for the Harnett County high school championship. That game lasted 13 overtimes, a record for the National Federation of High Schools Association, that is unmatched by the NCAA or NBA. The fact that Boone Trail eventually won 56-54 is not as remarkable as the fact that neither team substituted during the contest. Carter Gym is now used primarily by the University’s physical education, campus recreation and intramural departments, with the occasional Fighting Camel wrestling match. Baseball: Jim Perry Stadium (700)Previously known as Taylor Field, the venue dates back to the 1940s and Campbell's junior college baseball days. Following the 2012 season, the field was renamed for Jim Perry, who played baseball and basketball for Campbell from 1956 to 1959. Perry pitched in Major League Baseball for 17 seasons, earning the 1970 American League Cy Young Award as a member of the Minnesota Twins. Renovations to the facility began in 2011. Upgrades included a new entrance gate and ticket booth, restroom and concession facility, and exterior wrought iron fencing, as well as improved exterior landscaping. On Nov. 12, 2012, Campbell announced it would rename the facility in honor of Jim Perry and carry out further renovations that include a new press box, a grandstand that spans dugout to dugout, and seating for nearly 700 spectators, including 310 chair-backed seats. Jim Perry Stadium saw a complete transformation during the 2017 season. Major renovations included the addition of the Jim and Daphne Perry Pavilion, a brand new turf playing surface and a state-of-the-art video board. Jim and Daphne Perry Pavilion supplies additional seating while providing new offices for the entire baseball staff, a state-of-the-art locker room, new in-ground dugouts and a viewing deck. The pavilion provides a new home for the entire Campbell baseball operation. The field dimensions are 337 feet down the left field line, 368 feet in left-center, 395 feet to straight-away center, 375 feet to the right-center, and 328 feet down the right field line. Video link Soccer: Marion and Mary Eakes Athletics Complex (586)In addition to the soccer stadium, two soccer practice fields, the Campbell softball field and the James Nisbet Tennis Center are located at the Eakes Complex. Softball: Amanda Littlejohn Stadium (400)The renovated facility that is a part of Eakes Athletic Complex includes grandstands behind home plate that can hold 400 spectators. A press box located at the top of the grandstands has a separate radio both and a main press area that can fit six members of the media. Additional space can be found on the top of the press box for television cameras and additional media. The project was completed over the summer and fall of 2012 as a brick facade was added and a new score-by-innings scoreboard was placed in left center. The completion of the facility was due to generous donations that were provided by the supporters of the Campbell softball program. Tennis: James Nisbet Tennis CenterDuring the summer of 2018, the facility added brand new locker rooms for both programs as well an additional office for the coaching staff and a player lounge equipped with couches and a flat screen tv. The lounge also features additional food options for the student-athletes. McLeod Athletic Training FacilityNamed in honor of long-time university benefactors, Bernard and Virginia McLeod of Fuquay-Varina, the McLeod Athletic Training Facility serves as home for Campbell's sports medicine program, as well as providing locker room space for the varsity men's and women's soccer and softball teams. Opened in August 2004, the facility includes a 2,000 square-foot athletic training room, the primary space for Campbell's sports medicine operation. It also contains three locker rooms, a conference room, offices for the athletic training staff, and the men's and women's soccer and softball staff. Track: Irwin Belk Track (Capacity?)Campbell dedicated Irwin Belk Track and Clarence E. Roberts Field Complex on April 27, 2012. The state-of-the-art facility includes an eight, 42-inch lanes on a polyurethane surface and features a water jump for the steeple chase, high-jump “D” area, pole vault runway, two shot put rungs and a discus/hammer ring. There is one long runway adjacent to the home stretch with a sand pit on each end to allow for wind direction changes. Video linkJohnson Aquatic Center (Capacity?)The facility is two stories, 4500 square feet and houses a 25-yard, eight-lane pool. The center underwent a renovation in the fall of 2009 to bring the drainage up to federal standards, and again in 2014, updating the venue's sound system. The Johnson Aquatic Center was officially dedicated on October 2, 1976. Golf: Keith Hills Country ClubConveniently situated between Raleigh and Fayetteville, it is accessible to all golfers in this area and along the East Coast. Located 12.5 miles north on 421 from I-95, Keith Hills is a great halfway point for travelers on their way to Myrtle Beach or Florida. Keith Hills (Orange Course)The 1st hole offers a challenging second shot with a mid-iron to a green surrounded by bunkers and water. You are then faced with the second most difficult hole on the course, the 559 yard uphill par five 2nd. The next three holes are positioned between the big oaks and tall pines. The 6th tee turns you home for a flourish of challenging holes. The second of the two par fives on this nine can be reached in two. The well bunkered 7th is a long and difficult par three. Eight, is a downhill par four that turns right to left. Number nine is one of the toughest holes in North Carolina. The second shot forces you to carry both water and bunkers, while leaving you hungry for more. Keith Hills (Black Course)The Black Course nine begins with three par fours, which flow from left to right. They are followed by a 550-yard demanding par five. The 14th hole is a picturesque par three, situated among the dogwoods. The par four 15th hole ranks as the toughest on the course. As you make your way back to the clubhouse, you are faced with three realistic birdie opportunities. The 16th is a short par four, 17 is a mid-iron par three, and the 18th finishing with a beautiful lake front par five.
