Welcome to
Home Field Advantage
We’re a nonprofit supporting the M. Douglas Crater Field & Stadium now under construction to serve R.J. Reynolds High School and Wiley Magnet Middle School. Before this on-campus, multi-sport facility was approved, neither of these Title I schools had a regulation-size field making athletics and other activities inaccessible to many students, families and fans.
As part of a public-private partnership with Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools, Home Field Advantage is securing the private funds for this important project. We are incredibly grateful for the generosity of more than 400 donors (and counting!) as we work to bring this campaign to a close.

A Field of Dreams in Happening!
Stadium bleachers, lighting and scoreboard supports were installed in Spring/Summer 2024. We expect construction of the Robert Deaton Field House to begin by early Fall with the Entrance Building, including the Zack H. Bacon IV Hall of Champions and Mary Garber-Stuart Scott Press Box, to begin soon after. A great viewing spot of the stadium site is from the RJR Auxiliary Gym on Northwest Boulevard.
“The stadium provides, unequivocally, what we call “the thrill of victory” for the student athletes at Reynolds and Wiley. Let’s share in their joy. ”
