Duke’s newly constructed softball stadium includes a NCAA Certified natural turf field with underground drainage system, field house, press box, bathrooms, filming deck, site utilities, retaining walls, audio visual systems, field lighting, stadium bleachers and batting cages.

The field is situated on Duke’s East Campus adjacent to the field hockey facility, Williams Field at Jack Katz Stadium, creating a women’s sports complex. Subsequently, our team constructed both the field hockey field and the stadium in prior years. According to Marissa Young, the first head softball coach in Duke’s history, “It’s going to be a different feel from any other stadiums in the conference. People will be able to roam from neighborhoods, freshmen can walk over, and parking will be easy.” Based on the investment placed into such a spectacular stadium, Duke should be in competition to host the ACC tournament withing the first few seasons of its existence.
