Facilities - Softball Complex

The Auburn Softball Complex is located at 2560 South College Street, next to Surfside Water Park and Interstate 85.  It is used for the softball tournaments and other programs listed in the brochure and on the Softball programs page.  More information can also be found at the Auburn Softball website.  The following description of the facility is from the Auburn Softball website's "About Us" page:

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".
