Huston Sports Complex- baseball

The Joe Huston Memorial Sports Complex, located at 10120 SW
Boones Ferry Road, just off Terwilliger Blvd., directly behind the
Lewis & Clark College School of Law, is home to both Pioneer
baseball and softball fields. The Huston Sports Complex is named in
honor of Joe Huston, football coach at Lewis & Clark for
seventeen seasons. As the plaque at the complex declares, Huston
was a “friend, Coach-Athletic Director-Dean of Men”
from 1947-1972.
Originally built as a practice and
intramural facility, it was upgraded to become the permanent home
of the Pioneer baseball and softball teams in the late 70’s.
Softball first began playing at “Huston Field” in 1979,
having previously called Falcon Park their home field.
Baseball moved from Sckavone Field (SE 22nd & McLoughlin) to
Huston Field in 1980.
The molded plastic seats in the bleachers were
once part of the seating at the Kingdome in Seattle, the former
home of the Seattle Mariners.
The Huston Sports Complex has been
evolving through the years. In 1993, a baseball pressbox,
double-batting tunnels, and dugouts were added. A new
scoreboard was put in right center in 2005.
