Burrill Family Field at Connecticut Softball Stadium is the home field of the Connecticut Huskies softball team of the University of Connecticut. The stadium was located along Jim Calhoun Way, on the university's Storrs, Connecticut campus, adjacent to J. O. Christian Field and across from Morrone Stadium and the Burton Family Football Complex. The field is named for the Burrill Family, five of whom are UConn alums.[1][2]

Events

In addition to hosting UConn regular season softball games, the stadium has been the site of an NCAA Regional in 1990, and the 1992, 1993, 1997 and 1999 Big East Conference softball tournaments. The Huskies won the 1992 and 1993 events on their home field.[1]

Original facility

The original field had limited bleacher seating, but grass areas for up to 2,000 fans. The field was sparse in terms of amenities, with no concession area, simple dugouts, and a small shed for press and scoreboard operations. It was a grass field with a dirt infield.[1]

Renovations

The stadium closed after the 2020 season, with no home games having been hosted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Construction of a new stadium began in the summer of 2020 with plans for completion in time for the 2021 season. This construction is part of the new athletic district that will see a new Morrone Stadium and baseball stadium (Elliot Ballpark) constructed for the Huskies.[1][3][4] The new facility changed the orientation of the field so that the batters eye faces a more conventional northeast, and consists of a press box, sunken dugouts, 250 chairback seats, bleachers for 250 more people, and grass for additional spectators. Using fieldturf and lights, the facility will enable games in earlier spring and at night for the first time in program history. The stadium also has a player lounge and hitting facility on the first base side, with access to the Rizzo Performance Center for other facilities.[1]
