McWhorter Stadium is a softball park in the southeastern United States, located in Clemson, South Carolina. It is primarily used for NCAA and is the home field of the Clemson Tigers of the Division I Atlantic Coast Conference. The stadium opened in 2020, with the launch of the Tiger softball program, and contains seating for 1,000, additional spectator space on a grass berm, and player development areas.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6]

On February 5, 2021, Clemson University announced that Stuart McWhorter and his family had donated $2.5 million to the softball program, and that the stadium would therefore be named in their honor.^[7]^[8]
