OXFORD, Miss. - As the Rebels prepare to host the 2011 Southeastern Conference Softball Championships May 12-14, the Ole Miss Athletics Department is excited to announce renovations to the Ole Miss Softball Complex and ticket packages for the three-day tournament.
This will mark the first time Ole Miss has hosted the eight-team, single-elimination tournament, which began in 1997. Arkansas served as host of last year's tournament, while Alabama claimed the championship. Over the past decade, Ole Miss has hosted SEC Championships in cross country, men's and women's tennis, soccer, track and field and women's golf.
"We are very excited to host another SEC Championship event at Ole Miss," said Executive Associate Athletics Director Lynnette Johnson. "We are in the process of making several upgrades to our facility to provide fans a first-class experience."
Among the renovations to the Ole Miss Softball Complex will be outfield terrace seating beyond the wall in left field that will provide unique views of all the action, similar to the outfield seating at Ole Miss' baseball stadium, Swayze Field. Amenities will include a grilling area, pavilion and a camera platform area in center field.
Other improvements include a new LED video and scoreboard that measures approximately 13 feet high by 23 feet wide. The video board will have the ability to showcase live and recorded video images, animation and graphics with incredible brightness and wide-angle visibility. Bleacher seating will also be added in right field to accommodate the expected crowds for the SEC Tournament.
Stadium reserved chair back ticket packages for the SEC Tournament will be $85, while reserved bleacher seats will be $60 for all three days. Ticket packages for the left field terrace will be $60 and admission to the right field bleachers will be $40. Coolers will only be permitted in the left field terrace area.
