The 2009 season also marked the sixth season in which the Bulldog softball team has played in its multi-million dollar stadium. The facility holds close to 1,400 fans and has been chosen to host three NCAA Regionals and one NCAA Super Regional since its inception in 2004.
Both the Georgia and visiting team dugout are connected via tunnel to locker rooms. The Bulldogs’ locker room has all facilities located in it — an athletic training room, players’ lounge and locker room, showers, and the coaches’ offices and locker room. On the first base side, the visiting team has its locker room and showers along with the umpires’ locker room.
A state-of-the-art press box was built as well. The press box has suites for radio, television, and for both Georgia and the visiting team’s athletic director.
The stadium is finished with an awning covering the upper section. Georgia’s stadium ranks among the nations best and will continue to be an attractive site for NCAA postseason play for years to come.
In home games since 2004, the Bulldogs are 172-35 overall, 64-23 against SEC opponents, 10-4 in NCAA Regional play and 2-0 in NCAA Super Regional action.
