H.P. Hunnicutt Field is a stadium in Princeton, West Virginia. It is primarily used for baseball, and was the home field of the Princeton WhistlePigs in the summer collegiate Appalachian League until 2023, when the team ceased operations. It is also home to the teams of Princeton Middle School and Princeton High School, located adjacent to the high school football field. Built in 1988, it was developed by the H.P. and Anne S. Hunnicutt Foundation, and it holds 1,700.[1] The stadium was updated in 1999 from wooden bleachers and press boxes to a modernized stadium featuring wrap around bleacher seating down each foul line and box seats behind home plate. Also added were home and visitor locker areas, coach's offices, and training rooms. More recently, a new batting tunnel was constructed near the main gate of the stadium which can accommodate practices in inclement weather.[1]
