Softball Field

Renovated: Winter, 2001

Location: Malvern St.

Seating Capacity: 500 bench seating

The Boston University Softball Field, which serves as home to the Terrier softball team, has provided a decided home-field advantage since its renovation in the winter of 2001. Converted from Astroturf to a natural grass outfield/all-dirt infield, the B.U. Softball Field was home to a 19-game winning streak that lasted from its opening on April 4, 2001, until April 4, 2002. After going a perfect 15-0 at home in 2001, the Terriers compiled marks of 13-1 in 2002, 11-4 in 2003, and 5-5 in 2004, good for an overall 44-10 record and .815 winning percentage.

• Natural grass infield, all dirt infield (converted from Astroturf)
• Covered dugouts, complete with bat and helmet racks
• Reconfigured outfield dimensions: 200 feet down each line, 220 to straightaway center
• Bullpens down the first- and third-base lines for home and visitors
• A 29-foot scoreboard that displays runs by innings, total runs, hits, and errors, as well as a running count.
• Fully-functioning press box with an improved sound system
• A grass picnic area beyond the outfield fences, which provides an added view of the field

• Adjacent parking lot on Babcock Street can accommodate up to 300 cars for special events, subject to availability
