The new baseball and softball complex has been designed to provide the environment our student-athletes need to perform to the best of their ability. This project addresses current facility issues and will bring UW-Stout to the forefront of playable fields.
Playing in the toughest conference in the country, these field renovations would allow both programs the ability to attract high-caliber recruits, offer a much better student-athlete experience, and provide a community resource for K-12 outreach and tournaments.
Stout’s baseball field backstop is outdated and in need of major repairs. The field currently has no outfield drainage and the team has had to move numerous home games to other sites due to water and drainage problems.
The softball project will include relocation of the present softball field, re-grading the outfield grass and bullpens, construction of a visitor's dugout and new perimeter fencing, permanent bleachers, and a new scoreboard and press box. The softball facility has never had a permanent NCAA-compliant fence.
