Description
Mike Sheppard, Sr. Stadium has been the home for Pirates softball since 2005. The field is named for the legendary Pirates baseball head coach who led Seton Hall to 12 NCAA Tournament appearances and back-to-back College World Series berths in 1974-75. Improvements made to the facility include: brand new synthetic turf both on the infield and the outfield; raised bleachers that have increased the capacity to 700 and will provide better viewing angles; a press box that will accommodate game operations as well as television and radio productions; batting cages within the bullpens for both home and away teams; bench seating and cubbies within each dugout.
