The Utah softball team plays all of its home games at beautiful Ute Softball Field. Built in 1995, Ute Softball Field is nestled at the bottom of the foothills of the Wasatch Mountain Range. It sits to the north of Ute Soccer Field and to the east of the HPER complex. The field, itself, is professionally maintained and its infield dirt is the best in the business: its stabilizer dirt is also found in Major League Stadiums.
Thanks to a generous donation from the Katherine W. Dumke and Ezekiel R. Dumke Jr., Foundation, the soccer-softball complex is currently undergoing ongoing phased renovations.
Long-term plans for the $2.5 million soccer-softball facility call for a complete rebuilding of the softball field and the addition of lights. The softball field will be rotated 180 degrees to face northeast and a new permanent seating structure, including ticketing, concessions and restroom facilities, will be constructed. A press box that will be utilized by both softball and soccer will also be added and the entire facility will be fenced in.
A pedestrian mall that will run along the south side of the soccer and softball complex is currently being funded by the University. The pedestrian mall will connect the new University Medical Center TRAX line to the U.'s athletics corridor, which includes the soccer-softball complex, the Jon M. Huntsman Center, Crimson Court and Ute Natatorium.
