The Virginia Tech softball team has the luxury of playing and practicing in some of the finest facilities on the East Coast. Using the Tech Softball Park, Rector Field House and a brand-new, state-of-the-art weight room, the Hokies train in terrific facilities designed to help them win championships. Combined with a new locker room and one of the best scoreboard and video boards in the country, the Hokies have it all when it comes to what they need to win.
Tech Softball Park, which was completed in the fall of 1997, has dimensions of 200 feet down the lines and 220 feet to center field. In January of 2008, an additional 746 permanent seats were installed, bringing the capacity up from 336 to 1,024. The new bleachers match the ones that were already in place and now extend down to the end of both dugouts. Nets were extended down both lines in 2010 to ensure fan safety from foul balls.
Also, the roofs of the dugouts were removed and the dugouts themselves were lowered approximately two feet so that the bleachers could be built over top of them. The cost of the project was approximately $900,000. Hanbury Evans Wright Vlattas & Co. from Wytheville handled the project, with Tech graduate Keith Storms serving as the project manager for the architecture firm.
