ICC Softball Complex
Itawamba
Community College's Lady Indians play their home games in the
Softball Complex, which was completed in 1986.
The lights, which were also installed in 1986, allow the Lady
Indians to schedule later games for fan accessibility. It joins the
Davis Event Center (basketball), Roy Cresap Field (baseball), Eaton
Field at Lambert Stadium (football), the soccer complex and
Johnson-Partlow Tennis Courts to give Itawamba Community College
one of the finest group of athletic facilities for a community
college not only in Mississippi, but in the entire southeastern
United States.
The complex, located on the northern end of the ICC Fulton campus
on Tombigbee Street, showcases one of the top playing surfaces
(Bermuda overseeded by perennial rye grass) in the entire league. A
grounds crew, including Itawamba Community College athletic fields'
supervisor Mike Taylor and assistant Kirk Sheffield is responsible
for the field maintenance of the ICC Softball Complex.
Aside from the field, the facility has numerous luxuries including
dugouts, grandstand seating for nearly 100 fans, an electronic
scoreboard and fan amenities such as restrooms and concessions.
Additional seating is available on a concrete sidewalk behind the
backstop from dugout to dugout. A spacious new, air-conditioned
press box, which is scheduled to be completed this fall, will
feature a public address system with stereo equipment. The outfield
fences are positioned at 225 feet all the way around. The field
features a removable fence, which adds to the flexibility of the
facility.
The field and grandstands are positioned between the College's
intramural fields and the Tennis Complex and share the parking
areas. In addition, spectators have an opportunity to enjoy the
view looking up to the bluff area on the back of the campus.
The locker areas are located in the nearby state-of-the-art Davis
Event Center and in case of inclement weather, the Lady Indians
work out in the fitness center indoor practice facility.
