Benchmarked against the best softball stadiums in the SEC, the University of South Carolina Softball Stadium is built to compete at the top of the conference. The design maintains architectural continuity with the existing Athletic Village, using brick, precast concrete, and sloped metal roof elements that recall the nearby baseball stadium. A raised press box and stairs are unified by a large cantilevering roof canopy, creating a signature gesture at the facility’s main approach.
The stadium seats approximately 1,400 with a variety of options ranging from enclosed rooms to covered areas to seated dining zones. The home team suite features locker rooms, showers, a training area, coaches’ support space, a team meeting room, and a 4,000-square-foot batting cage.
