Charlie and Marie Lupton Baseball Stadium and Williams-Reilly Field is a baseball stadium located on the campus of Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, Texas. It has been the home field for the TCU Horned Frogs baseball team since it's opening in 2003.

The stadium is a two tiered complex with three suites, an office for the current baseball coach, two radio booths, and a press box. A new scoreboard which includes a video screen was installed for the 2006 season. It officially opened on February 2, 2003, when the Frogs lost 5-2 to UT Arlington in front of a sell out crowd.

Lupton Stadium replaces the previous home of the Horned Frogs baseball team, the TCU Diamond, which was utilized from 1962-2002. [TCU 2006 Baseball Media Guide, p. 99] The TCU Diamond was adjacent to Daniel-Meyer Coliseum, where the Sam Baugh Indoor Practice Facility is now located.

On May 20-24, 2008, Lupton Stadium will host the Mountain West Conference Baseball Championships.
