Charles Wade-John Lott Field
As part of a transformative $10 million renovation, the softball stadium has been elevated into a premier, three-level athletic complex designed to enhance both player performance and fan engagement. The new facility brings together all key program elements, including modern coaches’ offices, a spacious team locker room, a fully equipped press area, convenient concessions, public restrooms, dedicated team meeting rooms, and a state-of-the-art athletic training room.
The grandstands were expanded with 500 additional seats, creating a more vibrant and energized game-day atmosphere. Complementing the stadium upgrades, the design also introduced professional-grade softball batting cages and bullpen areas, providing athletes with top-tier practice and warm-up spaces.
This comprehensive renovation not only elevates the competitive environment for the team but also delivers an exciting, fan-friendly venue that reflects the program’s commitment to excellence and the University’s pride in its athletics tradition.
