Dick Pfeil Softball Field

Directions to Dick PFeil Softball Field

Indiana University South Bend's lighted softball field was inaugurated on Sep. 16, 2017 in front of a large crowd on beautiful day. South Bend business and civic leader Richard "Dick" Pfeil was recognized for his gift that funded improvements to the softball facility at Veterans Memorial Park. In recognition of the improvements to the park, the City of South Bend named the softball venue Pfeil Field. IU South Bend will lease the field from the South Bend Board of Venues, Parks and Arts at no cost. The field also includes bleacher seating for more than 250 with home and visiting dugouts.

The ceremony included remarks from IU South Bend Executive Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs Jann Joseph, City of South Bend Director of Community Outreach Cherri Peate, Director of Maintenance for the Department of Venues, Parks, and Arts John Martinez, and Pfeil. The IU South Bend Titans defeated Ancilla College in the first game at Pfeil Field.
