McCarthy Field is the home field for the Jets' Baseball team. What was once a barren wheat field is now a beautiful ballpark with an old time feel. The dimensions of McCarthy Field are 335' to left field, 320' to right field and 390' to centerfield. The outfield wall is 8' high around the outfield except for in centerfield which stands 25' high. Also near the field, the Jets have four enclosed batting cages. The Jets have an adjacent area for tee and soft-toss work, as well.

Newman University is one of few schools to have a clubhouse attached directly to its field. This spacious area allows for personal lockers, a lounge area consisting of couches, recliners, a video/entertainment center, as well as ping-pong table for player competition. The coaches' office is Internet ready, with fax and phone for daily needs. This area is air-conditioned and heated for year-round use. The clubhouse was recently painted, and new tile laid to encourage players to spend free time at the field.

Newman Softball Field (Softball)

 

Newman Softball Field is encompassed by a 5’ wooden fence that is 205’ down the left and right field lines and 200’ in centerfield. Beyond the center field fence is a scoreboard and lights for the entire field. The outfield has natural grass with the infield having a shale (dirt) surface. The dugouts are made of cinder block and are covered.

The batting cage is located next to the field down the left field line. The visitor’s bullpen is located down the right field line outside the playing field and the home team bullpen is located beyond the left field fence.

Restroom facilities are located in the Maintenance Building located beyond the right field fence.

Wilkins Field is the home of Newman University soccer. With a seating capacity of over 500 fans, Wilkins Field features a natural grass playing surface, complete with covered team dugouts and a two-story press box. Before the 2013 season, new dugouts were constructed and a new scoreboard was added along with a new sound system. Prior to the 2010 season, new wind screens bearing the Newman University logos, the NCAA logos, and "Newman University Jet Soccer" were added to the fence surrounding the playing surface to create a true home field advantage, and an atmosphere second to none.

Opened in 2010, the Martin Park Golf Learning Center is the indoor practice facility for the Newman University golf teams. The facility, which features five hitting bays, a computerized swing analysis unit, and putting areas, allows the Jets to continue to improve their game during the cold winter months. The Martin Park Golf Learning Center also houses the offices of Director of Golf/Head Men's and Women's Coach Taryn Torgerson and her assistant coach.
