Nischwitz Stadium is a baseball venue located in Fairborn, Ohio, United States. It is home to the Wright State Raiders of the Horizon League that competes in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) at the Division I level. The facility has chairback seating for 750 spectators.
The stadium is named for Ron Nischwitz and Gregg Nischwitz. Ron coached the program for 30 years, and his son Gregg played one season for the Raiders. However, he died in a 1980 construction accident. The stadium, built in 1999, was dedicated in their honor on April 12, 2000, during a Wright State game against Indiana.
Baseball has been played at the current site since 1993 when campus expansion supplanted the original field. That field had been celebrated for its playing surface but lacked lighting. It was located near the current Student Union. A campus recreation field may be found near the former site today.
In fall 2012, a FieldTurf surface was installed at the field.
