About Bishop Schmitt Field

Located at 316 Washington Avenue in Wheeling, West Virginia, Bishop Schmitt Field is a versatile outdoor athletic complex that hosts football, men’s and women’s soccer, lacrosse, and rugby on a Sprinturf surface. With stadium seating for roughly 1,300 fans and bleacher sections, the field remains a central hub for local college athletics, high school games, and select postseason events. This page provides practical details to help you plan a smooth visit—seating, parking, transit options, and nearby hotels and dining recommended by our trusted affiliate partners.

Whether you’re catching a Wheeling University game or a local high school matchup, you’ll find on-site parking, tailgate-friendly spaces, and nearby amenities to make your trip easy and enjoyable. We’ve got you covered with reliable information and handy tips so you can secure your seats and focus on the game.

Note on venue features: Bishop Schmitt Field remains a key component of the campus athletic complex, with branding tied to the field itself. In 2025, renovations were announced for the outdoor complex, featuring naming rights to Panhandle Cleaning & Restoration and WesBanco while preserving the Bishop Schmitt Field branding on the playing surface and related facilities. The venue has hosted events such as the MEC Women’s Lacrosse Championship (2017) and NCR 15s National Playoff rounds (2021–2023), and it served as the site for Wheeling University football’s debut on September 8, 2018. For fans and visiting teams, the following practical details help ensure a smooth experience.

Seating is stadium-style with bleachers; there is no published official public seating chart, but third-party charts are available for reference. Parking is available on campus with dedicated tailgate areas near the field, including the Sara Tracy Parking Lot used for events like Homecoming. Transit options are limited; there is no regular bus service to the campus, though the university runs a seasonal shuttle to Pittsburgh International Airport. Regional transit exists via OVRT/AORTA where applicable. For visitors, nearby hotels and dining options are convenient via downtown Wheeling and the broader riverfront area.
