STANFORD, Calif. -- In the wake of the announcement that Stanford was planning to build a new, $50 million softball stadium, coach Jessica Allister was on cloud nine. This kind of investment in softball is rare, and she felt fortunate that the university was showing this commitment to her program.
Allister had seen other refurbishments or upgrades around the country before and, in those cases, construction would usually start as soon as the season ended and last about nine months, in time for the following season -- or at least by the time conference play begins.
