Petersen Sports Complex, Sports complex in Pittsburgh, United States
The Petersen Sports Complex is a sports facility on the University of Pittsburgh campus in Pittsburgh, United States. It comprises three fields for baseball, softball, and soccer, along with a support building that houses locker rooms and training areas.
The complex was built on the site of the former Robinson Court housing project, which the university acquired in 2008 after negotiations. It opened in 2011, with the first baseball game played in March of that year.
The entrance plaza features a granite depiction of the University of Pittsburgh's seal and a statue showing the silhouettes of athletes from each of the four teams. It's a spot where fans often pause for photos before heading to the stands.
The complex sits next to Trees Hall and the Cost Sports Center, so look for those buildings to find your way. The fields are used for university teams, so check the schedule before planning a visit to watch a game.
The soccer field uses the same artificial turf as Gillette Stadium and Lumen Field, giving it a professional feel. The baseball field's scoreboard was donated by Armand C. Dellovade, a detail often missed by visitors.
