Overview

Brand new Van Metre Family Softball Field, home to Cornell's softball program, is located south of campus near the Mount Vernon elementary and middle schools.

One of the premier softball complexes in the Midwest, Van Metre Family Softball Field underwent an extensive renovation that was completed for competition in Summer 2021. Dave Van Metre, a Mount Vernon native and longtime benefactor for both Cornell College and the Mount Vernon Community School District, donated all goods and services for the $1.673 million facility.

The complex features a field turf playing surface, additional seating, a combined press box/concessions building, new lighting, sunken dugouts, new batting cages and bullpens, and many more upgrades.
