John L. Harvey Field is the home of the Western Wildcats baseball team. Perched on the eastern edge of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, the new field is great place to watch a game and one of the best ballparks in the Scenic West Conference.

The state-of-the-art field consists of FieldTurf, an artificial playing surface that allows the team to practice and play in all kinds of weather conditions. There is also bullpens and dugouts for each team, as well as a batting cage. The Wildcats' all-time record at John L. Harvey Field is 21-8, a winning percentage of .724.

Seating capacity is more than 400, including 350 chair back seats. Many of the chairs were donated from the old Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia. The outfield wall is 8 feet high and the outfield dimensions are left 335, left center 374, centerfield 390, right center 350, and right field 314.

Western Nevada College opened their home park April 28, 2006, and Nevada Gov. Kenny Guinn threw out the first pitch. More than two dozen area companies and numerous donors helped WNC complete the $1 miilion project.

The team is still seeking donors in the form of labor, material, and cash to expedite the final completion of the field. To join the individuals and companies that have already donated to the project, please call Coach D.J. Whittemore at 775-445-3250 or Helaine Jesse at 775-445-3239.
