'Play Ball!'
Issue Date:
January 31, 2011 ![sports-fields-photo The fields of Pitt’s new Petersen Sports Complex are finished, ready for players and their cleats. The $27.8 million project houses three NCAA regulation competition venues for (from bottom left) women’s softball, men’s and women’s soccer, and men’s baseball. The complex is built on 12 acres at the peak of Pitt’s upper campus; all three fields have artificial-turf playing surfaces, broadcast-quality sports lighting, scoreboards, and press boxes. Despite icy winds and the snowy winter blanket outside now, the complex will host its first official baseball game in less than a month, when the Panthers take the field against the IPFW (Indiana University—Purdue University Fort Wayne) Mastadons at 3 p.m. Feb. 25. Weather permitting, of course.](/sites/default/files/images/sports-fields-photo.jpg)
