It is the home field of the East Carolina Pirates of the American Athletic Conference. The stadium was named after Pirate alumnus and contributor Bill Clark and former Pirates coach Keith LeClair. ECU's current head coach is Cliff Godwin.

The stadium has 3,000 stadium bleacher seats, plus space for several thousand more spectators in "The Jungle." There are concession and restroom facilities at the stadium, plus a family picnic area. Amenities include the Pirate Club fundraising and hospitality suite and a private suite for the LeClair family. The venue was built with $11 million in private donations.

The playing surface consists of Celebration Bermuda turf with a clay base infield and crushed-brick warning track. Facilities include indoor and outdoor batting cages, a VIP booth, coach's offices, and a player clubhouse, as well as state-of-the-art broadcast facilities. Before the 2017 season, an updated scoreboard and sound system was installed. In 2019, a 7,125-square foot hitting facility was completed along the right field line at a cost of $1 million. In 2024 a new LED lighting system was installed prior to the season to "improve visibility and lower maintenance costs."

The dimensions of the outfield are 320 ft down the foul lines and 400 ft to center field. The diamond has an unorthodox northwesterly alignment (home plate to center field); the recommended orientation is east-northeast. The elevation of the field is approximately 70 ft above sea level.

The stadium is home to the 2007 ECU Invitational and Keith LeClair Classic The Pirates consistently rank in the top thirty among Division I baseball programs in attendance.

Events

The stadium hosted the Conference USA tournament in 2007, won by Rice, the Regionals of the NCAA tournament in 2009, 2018, 2019, 2021, 2022 and 2022 Super Regional.
