Cal Athletics announced on Monday of a new plan to spend about $30 Million dollars (money amount only found in the Daily Cal article) to upgrade the facilities of Cal Softball and Cal Beach Volleyball.
For softball, the field will be flipped in orientation and enlarged, with the new home plate area near the current left field foul pole. In addition, it will include expanded permanent seating, covered batting cages, locker rooms, a video board, restrooms, field lighting and an elevated press box, among other amenities. Once completed, the softball facility will meet field dimension standards, and Cal will be able to host NCAA Tournament games, something the team is unable to do presently.
