Veterans memorial park - In the spring 2010, JMU opened Veterans Memorial Park, a $9.5 million baseball and softball complex located next to Memorial Hall. - The project included a $1 million interior renovation to Memorial Hall that covered new offices for coaches, locker rooms, team rooms, areas for strength and conditioning, as well as sports medicine, indoor practice space and batting cages. - The softball stadium includes lights, a press box, sunken dugouts, chair-back seating, and a state-of-the-art sound system. - The new facility was built on the same site as the old Veterans Memorial Stadium, which opened in 1949. The new site retained the name Veterans Memorial in honor of all the veterans of foreign wars from Harrisonburg and Rockingham County. - The entrance includes a monument to war veterans. The monument was dedicated on Veterans Day weekend in the Fall of 2009. - First softball game was played on March 17, 2010. It was a doubleheader that included a come-frombehind win by the Dukes over Longwood.
“JMU is committed to providing the facilities needed to compete at the elite Division I level. It is an exciting time for our program as construction is underway for our new stadium and indoor facility.� Katie Flynn, JMU softball coach
