About Sherri Parker Lee Stadium
Thanks largely to a generous leadership gift from Sherri Parker Lee, the University of Tennessee officially opened the Sherri Parker Lee Softball Stadium on Feb. 5, 2008, by defeating BYU, 8-2, in the inaugural Tennessee Classic. The comprehensive venue also hosted a record 1,622 fans on April 12 of that year for a high-profile exhibition against the U.S. Olympic Softball Team and the homecoming of legendary Tennessee pitcher Monica Abbott.
Lee Softball Stadium features a state-of-the-art, multi-level press box, an enormous digital videoboard with instant-replay capabilities, 2,200 seats and three locker rooms. Each team also has its own locker room facility under the stadium complex.

The stadium itself contains 600 reserved chairback seats, as well as bleachers with back railings to provide a more comfortable viewing experience for fans. The press box area includes two private hospitality suites and four VIP suites, with three separate broadcast rooms for TV and radio to utilize. The top floor of the complex includes an observatory, accessible by elevator, that is used primarily by network TV.
Situated beside the stadium, the Tennessee softball clubhouse is approximately 7,000-square feet with a team room, whirlpools, training area and conference room. It also includes a kitchen, 30-seat theater, trophy room and a recreation room with a big-screen television, pool table, video games and comfortable furniture for the student-athletes. The locker room also has full laundry facilities, a mud room, spacious lockers, shower and bathroom facilities. The staff has access to a private office with a separate locker room and shower and bath area.
Connected to the clubhouse is one of the largest batting cage facilities in the nation. It contains four 16-by-60 foot cages. The cages are designed to provide plenty of room to walk or film between each, allowing the coaching staff room to stand nearby to provide any necessary instruction. All four cages are covered from the weather and possess high-quality Astroturf.
