Schaeffer Park
Home of West Texas A&M Softball
West Texas A&M University is home to one of the finest Division II softball complexes in the nation. Schaeffer Park is a state-of-the-art in every way and provides West Texas A&M softball players and coaches with an all-inclusive complex that includes locker rooms, meeting rooms, batting cages and one of the best playing surfaces anywhere in the country.
WT’s dream of a new, state-of-the-art softball complex became a reality when ground was broken in a ceremony in the winter of 2009. Construction workers worked continuously to complete the facility, which also competition fields for soccer, track and field and baseball along with tennis courts, outdoor basketball courts, three intramural fields for flag football and slow-pitch softball and practice facilities for football, soccer and the WTAMU Marching Band. The result was the creation of one of the nation’s premier collegiate sports complexes.
Schaeffer Park, formerly Lady Buff Yard, was completed in December of 2010 and it includes ticket and concession buildings and a spacious pressbox with radio/television booths. The home dugout is connected to the team’s clubhouse which consists of coaches’ offices, a laundry facility, a team meeting room and locker room.
The lighted facility is made completely of AstroTurf GameDay 3D synthetic turf with the combination of green and chocolate brown for a perfect looking playing surface year-round. The stands feature 235 chair back seats for members of the Buffalo Club and season ticket holder and another 300 general admission seats for a total capacity of 535.
