Corvallis Knights

Facility

Goss Stadium at Coleman Field The Knights call Goss Stadium at Coleman Field home, as do the Oregon State Beavers of the Pacific-12 Conference. It has been OSU’s home field since 1907 and is the oldest continuously-used college venue in the country. The playing surface is named Coleman Field in honor of former OSU player and coach Ralph Coleman, who guided the Beavers for 35 seasons from 1923-66. The field – infield and outfield – feature FieldTurf and a clay mound. The stadium, which resides on campus at Oregon State University, is named for John and Eline Goss. Their major lead gift to the $2.3-million fundraising effort led to the construction of the original stadium in 1999. John Goss was an OSU track and field letterman in the 1930s. The stadium’s name is also a memorial to his older brother, James Goss, an OSU graduate. Permanent outdoor seating capacity at Goss Stadium is 2,735 in the summer, with a total capacity of 3,100 when including the stadium’s Hotel Corvallis Omaha Room, TnT Builders Party Deck and the new Casey Corner group areas. In 2016, Goss Stadium upgraded its video board – the largest in the Pac-12. The field’s dimensions are traditional with center field being 400’ and both foul line poles being 330’ from home plate.
