West Campus Athletic Facilities
Outdoor Tennis Courts, Softball Field, and Varsity Field are all located on West Campus. Recent upgrades to sporting facilities were completed in Fall 2016 at West Campus.
Varsity Field
Varsity Field serves as the home of the Butler women’s lacrosse team. The Varsity Field Project was completed in the Fall of 2016. The general contractor for the project was Wurster Construction in Indianapolis, Indiana and the 103752 Sq. Ft. synthetic turf surface was installed by Shaw Sports Turf in Calhoun, Georgia. Several additional sub-contractors were also used for the project. The scope of the project included construction of the new turf facility on the location of the former Varsity Field on West Campus. This project included all drainage, anchors, concreate slabs, brick pillars, main entrance, decorative fencing, bleachers, backstop netting, equipment storage, a new Nevco scoreboard w/ possession clocks, flag poles, and a new sound system including audio equipment & speakers, etc.
Outdoor Tennis Courts
The Butler Outdoor Tennis Courts give the Butler men’s and women’s tennis teams an outdoor venue for their regular season contests. Located near Varsity Field and the Butler Softball Field, the complex originally featured three hard-surface courts before an additional three were completed in the summer of 2009, making for an ideal location for hosting intercollegiate competitions during the warmer months.
Softball Field
The Butler softball team calls the Butler Softball Field home, located adjacent to the Holcomb Gardens across the Inland Waterway Canal. The field is a part of a larger athletic field complex that features Varsity Field (the alternate field for both the men’s and women’s soccer teams), the outdoor tennis courts and intramural softball and soccer fields. The field features brick dugouts for both the home and visiting benches, a bullpen area and batting cages located down the first base line out of play and spectator seating for up to 500 people. The field’s outfield dimensions extend to 200 feet from foul pole to foul pole.
