Varsity Softball Complex

The Varsity Softball Complex, located just west of baseball's Lambert Field, is the home of the Boilermaker softball team. The complex, which was developed in 1994, features four bullpens, four batting cages, dugouts which include locker space for each player, a giant gold and black scoreboard and a press box down the third baseline. The complex also features a 1,000-seat grandstand behind home plate.

The facility received the 1997 National Fastpitch Coaches Association/Turface Grounds Crew Maintenance Award for national field of the year. The playing field, which includes a built-in drainage and sprinkler system, carries outfield dimensions of 200 feet down the lines and 220 feet to center field. The Turface infield consists of 40 percent sand and 60 percent clay.

The Varsity Softball Complex has undergone several renovations over the years. An electronic scoreboard was added in 1995, while the press box was completed in 1996. The 1,000-seat grandstand was installed in 1999.

In addition to Purdue softball home games, the site played host to the 1997 Big Ten Umpire Evaluation Tournament.
