Continuing an athletic facility revamp that’s seen nearly every UH athletic venue undergo significant upgrades, the softball team announced plans to add an indoor practice facility to Cougar Softball Stadium for the 2018 season.
Construction of the 5,600-square-foot indoor facility is part of a $1.2 million renovation to the home of Cougars’ softball that includes the addition of a 29-by-24-foot high-definition video board announced Oct. 26. The venue will feature five full-length batting cages in a climate-controlled environment while the interactive scoreboard is expected to be the sport’s largest in Texas.
“The indoor facility is a vital piece for our student-athletes’ development,” said softball head coach Kristin Vesely in a news release.
