The Auburn Softball Complex, located off
Interstate 85 on Hwy. 29, was built in 1992 by the City of Auburn in
an effort to provide citizens within the community a
state-of-the-art recreational facility for softball. The
Auburn Softball Complex staff strives to ensure that visitors enjoy
the finest championship playing facilities. A strong emphasis
is placed on expert organization and genuine Southern hospitality.
The Auburn Softball Complex has been recognized as one of the
premier complexes in the nation by USA Softball magazine and was
also awarded the 1999
ISA
National Complex of the Year. The complex was also awarded the
1999, 2001, and 2005 Alabama
ASA Complex
of the Year.
Since its opening in 1993, the Complex has hosted
15 ASA
National Championships and 8
ISA World
Championships. In 2006 the Auburn Softball Complex will host
the ASA Girls
B East Fast Pitch National Championship as well as the
ISA Men's
B World Championship. In addition to these events, the complex
regularly hosts a number of local leagues and has been the site for
many districts, sub-states, and state tournaments. The Complex
was also the home of the 1997 and 1998 Auburn University Women's
Fast Pitch team and hosted a number of SEC games.
The Complex boasts a three story control building
that is surrounded by five fields that feature Bermuda grass
outfields, 300 ft. fences, skinned infields and Hollywood bases.
In addition, each field is equipped with a warning track,
championship lighting and a public address system. All dugouts
are covered and feature phones to the press box. The control
building is complete with spacious clean restrooms and full
concessions on the ground floor. The second floor contains
complex offices, a conference room, and a rest area for umpires.
The third floor contains scorekeeper booths and press box
capabilities.
Families and fans visiting the Auburn Softball
Complex can take advantage of our many picnic areas. Children
also have the opportunity to enjoy our fun playground, which is
located next to the control building. Bleachers with a seating
capacity of over 200 are found adjacent to each field. Whether
you find yourself at the Auburn Softball Complex to play or to
spectate, you will be impressed with the facilities found only in
the city known as the "loveliest village on the plains".
