West Field

West Field, located in Munhall, Pennsylvania, serves as the home for Chatham University's softball and baseball teams, providing a state-of-the-art facility that features a top-of-the-line synthetic turf field and modern amenities. The field is part of the William W. Knight Memorial Park, which has undergone significant renovations, including updated dugouts, locker rooms, and seating for 800 spectators.

Rich in history, West Field was once the home of the Homestead Grays, a prominent Negro League baseball team in the late 1930s and early 1940s, where legendary player Josh Gibson showcased his talent. The renovations were funded by local philanthropist William V. Campbell Jr., reflecting a commitment to preserving the legacy of the field while enhancing its functionality for current athletes.
