CONSTRUCTED: 1982

Field, the home of Michigan Softball
The University of Michigan softball program’s sta-
dium received a complete makeover after the
close of the 2007 season, with renovations to pro-
vide fans with a cozy viewing environment that establishes the park as one of
the nation’s elite sites for competition. Modernizations to the new baseball and
softball complex were funded largely by the Judy and Fred Wilpon Family
Foundation, which covered $4 million of the $5.5 million softball project.
Additions to Alumni Field include a new indoor hitting facility, press box and
media facility, restrooms, concession area, and seating accommodations. U-M
inserted an impressive 1,800-seat grandstand complemented by outfield
bleachers holding an additional 1,000 seats. The two constructs double the ca-
pacity of a stadium that has hosted countless sellout crowds over its tenure.
The allotment also provided for the expansion of the Donald R. Shepherd Soft-
ball Building that sits behind the stadium, featuring a new, larger athletic train-
ing space and team gathering room, as well as the establishment of a pedestri-
an plaza at the park’s entrance.
Alumni Field, formerly known as “Varsity Diamond,” has been the site of 17
NCAA regional tournaments (1993, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2002,
2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011) and four NCAA super re-
gionals (2005, 2008, 2009, and 2010), which operates as the launching point for
the Wolverines’ 2005 national championship. Renovated and landscaped for
the 1992 season, Alumni Field is located in the heart of the University’s Athletic
Campus.
