Learn more about the new stadium project
The Burrill Family Field Softball Complex is a state-of-the-art facility that ranks among the best in all of the Northeast. The Huskies are scheduled to open their new stadium for the 2021 season.
The facility will feature a fully electronic video/scoreboard in right-center field that will be operated from a brand new press box. The press box will contain radio, TV booths and space for public address announcer, scoring and press. The facility holds a capacity of 518 including 250 chair back seats. Burrill Family Field will feature three outdoor cages, three mounds in both home and visiting bullpen and lights that will allow playing of night games for first time in program history. The sunken dugouts include storage space and a player restrooms. Restrooms and storage space will be provided at the main entry of the stadium.
The field’s dimensions are 200’ down the left field line, 220’ to straight-away center field and 200’ down the line in right field.
The Huskies will also have a brand new player locker room, player’s lounge and coach’s offices in the new Rizza Family Performance Center, across the street from the Softball Complex. Five batting and pitching tunnels, an athletic training room and strength and conditioning area will also be featured in the Performance Center. There will also be a room that the team can utilize for meals and film.
The Burrill family has generously supported UConn Athletics through various gifts, including the establishment of the Barbara and Bob (’74) Burrill Family Athletic Scholarship and Burrill Family Field at the Connecticut Softball Complex.
