Amenities at McNair Field include a beer garden down the right-field line, a rarity in the summer-collegiate Coastal Plain League, as well as concession stands down the foul lines, a scoreboard complete with the CPL's first and only videoboard, which measures 8'10" by 15', minor league-style dugouts and bullpens, and a state-of-the-art lighting system.
It is named for Robert McNair, a Forest City native and founder of the Houston Texans football team.
