As the season looms, 700 seats will be added to accommodate crowd This year, UAB’s Softball team kicks off their season with new stands for the Mary Bowers Field, named in March 2016 after the late-Mary Bowers. 700 seats will be added to the stands to accommodate over a thousand fans. One addition to the stadium is the observation deck. These bleachers grant fans a view that goes from fence line to fence line, replacing the previous temporary and low-set bleachers. “We have recruits coming on unofficial and official visits,” Marla Townsend, UAB Softball Head Coach said.
