Pulliam Stadium/Howard Fisher Memorial Field

Located on the college's Black Mountain Campus, Howard Fisher Memorial Field serves as home to the men's and women's soccer teams as well as men's and women's lacrosse and men's and women's track & field. The field is named after former Montreat soccer standout Howard Fisher. The giant, 6-foot-7 Kingston, Jamaica native worked between the pipes for the Cavaliers men's soccer program from 2006-2009, but passed away unexpectedly due to a rare blood disease that tragically cut his life short after his senior season in 2009. Fisher, a four-time all-conference selection, led the Cavaliers to their first "modern day" NAIA National Coaches Poll ranking of No. 24 ('07) and to a program-high number 15 in the nation in his final season. Fisher has been the host to the 2011 Men's Soccer Appalachian Athletic Conference Tournament Championship and 2013 Women's Soccer Appalachian Athletic Conference Regular Season and Tournament Championship squads at Montreat College.

In the summer of 2020, renovations including an all-turf infield and foul territory took place.
