Directions: Whitworth is located on the north side of Spokane. From I-90, take the Division Street exit and follow Division Street north seven miles. At Hawthorne Road, turn left. The campus is three blocks ahead on the right. Take the second campus entrance for the athletics facilities. The Pine Bowl is located immediately on your left. Past the Pine Bowl, turn left at Graves Gym and you have access to the tennis courts and the softball soccer complex located in the fields behind Graves Gym. Also, after turning left at Graves Gym, if you drive straight ahead, you will get to the Whitworth Fieldhouse. Immediately to the right of the Fieldhouse is the Aquatic Center. Behind the Fieldhouse is Merkel Field, where baseball games are held.

The Pine Bowl/Boppell Track: First used in the late 1930's, the Whitworth Pine Bowl has been home to Pirate football and track teams for over 60 years. Majestically surrounded by beautiful Pines (thus the name), the stadium added grass picnic/seating areas north and south of the grandstand in 2002. In the 1960's the permanent stands were poured and constructed, along with the press box. In the mid-90's the track was reconstructed and named in honor of Chuck Boppell, a former athlete and current Board of Trustees member. The tartan surface is first class and has been host to numerous college, high school and youth track meets since.
The Whitworth Fieldhouse: The home of Whitworth basketball and volleyball, the Fieldhouse is a spacious, multi-purpose facility that also houses the university's Sports Medicine department. The seating capacity for basketball is 1,620 and the Fieldhouse has provided the Pirates a significant home-court advantage over the years with large and noisy crowds. In the winter, baseball, softball and track and field use the facility for practice. In 1980 the Whitworth Fieldhouse was the site of the AIAW Division III Volleyball Championships. The following year the building hosted the AIAW Division III Basketball Tournament. More recently the Whitworth Fieldhouse has played host to a pair of NCAA Division III regional volleyball tournaments (2002, 2005).
The Whitworth Aquatics Center: Completed in the spring of 1984, the Whitworth Aquatics Center hosts the Pirate swimming teams. The pool is a six-lane, 40-yard course with a movable bulkhead, designed to allow for a deep-water racing course. The pool hosted the 1986 NAIA Championships. The Northwest Conference championships have been held at the facility four times, as have numerous age-group competitions. A recent addition to the Aquatics Center area has been the Scotford Fitness Center. Filled with a wide array of circuit-training and cardiovascular exercise implements, the Scotford Fitness Center is available to Whitworth students for a nominal fee.
The Softball/Soccer Complex: The newest addition to the list of athletic facilities, the Diana Marks Softball Field / Whitworth Soccer complex offers the highest quality in athletic fields. Opened for softball in the spring of 2000, the complex includes a complete softball field with in-ground dugouts, batting cages, and bleachers. The soccer field is international-regulation size, with an adjacent practice annex. Both fields have their own state-of-the art scoreboards and a shared press-box with filming pad above and concessions stand below. The fields also share team changing rooms and spectator restrooms conveniently located adjacent to the bleachers.
Merkel Field: Located across from the back of the Fieldhouse, Merkel Field is home to the Whitworth Baseball team. A beautiful setting for a sunny spring day of baseball, the facility has undergone several recent upgrades. Bleachers have been added and reconstructed to include seats immediately behind home plate. The backstop has been moved back away from home plate to provide a safer amount of foul territory. And a full-service concession stand is now available. |
