Mark Worley Field at Meador Park

The Drury University baseball program returned to Mark Worley Field at Meador Park, its original home, in 2024. The move was made possible through a collaboration with the Springfield Parks Board and a year-long fundraising effort by Drury's Office of University Advancement, resulting in $1.5 million for renovations.

The renovations of Mark Worley Field was made possible by a generous lead donation from Bryan Magers, who wanted to honor his dear friend Mark Worley and the field was named in his honor. Harry Cooper Supply, and a long-time Springfield resident, John Cooper, was a major contributor to the success of the overall project, as well as an anonymous donor. Rounding out the effort and committing major gifts were a group of baseball alumni, parents, and grandparents. Additionally, many local businesses have signed on for support with signage and sponsorships.

The stadium improvements included:

A full field turf with an artificial surface replacing the current grass field
A new full outfield metal 12-foot fence
New foul poles
Repaired and restored scoreboard, speaker system, and Wi-Fi
Painted concessions and dugouts
Drury signage and advertising around the park
New dugout benches, bat racks, and helmet racks
New dugout protective fencing, netting, and padding
Portable mound and base plugs to host different age groups at different distances
Main entrance restoration and name recognition of Mark Worley Field at Meador Park

Meador Park, located just four miles from the Drury campus at 2600 S. Fremont in Springfield, served as the home stadium for Drury Baseball when they re-launched the program in 2006.
