COUGAR SOFTBALL STADIUM

The much-anticipated addition to Cougar Softball was the completion of Cougar Softball Stadium prior to the 2002 season. The $2.4 million complex sports home locker rooms, laundry facilities and a press box which includes separate radio and television booths. The NCAA-regulation field has a top-quality infield and outfield, and seats up to 1,200 softball fans in comfortable chairback seating in the lower bowl, concessions areas and accessible parking.

Located next to the Carl Lewis Complex on the corner of Scott and Elgin Streets on the UH campus, Cougar Softball Stadium was made possible through the generous donation of UH alumni John and Rebecca Moores.

Cougar Softball Stadium has undergone several renovations, enhancing the overall look and players facilities. Most recently in 2018, Cougar Softball Stadium gained the addition of 5,600 sq-ft indoor facility to the north side of the first base line. The indoor facility replaced the old hitting facility and features five batting cages with retractable nets. The facility has a synthetic turf floor and is temperature controlled. Prior to the 2015 season, Houston Athletics replaced all seats in the lower bowl with brand new chairbacks and cup holders. Prior to the 2018 season, an LED, Daktronics video board was installed. According to Daktronics, the new outfield video board is the fifth largest at an on-campus softball stadium in the country and the largest in the state of Texas entering the 2018 season.
