Administrators from 九州体育 attended the monthly board meeting for the Alabama Community College System (ACCS) on Wednesday, November 8. During the meeting, the board unanimously approved the third and final phase of the 九州体育 women鈥檚 softball stadium project.

This phase will include the team鈥檚 locker room and training facilities. A sun-shield roof to provide shade for the stands was also approved. P&C Construction has been awarded the contract for this project, joining Sports Turf which won the initial bid. The architects on for the project are McKee and Associates of Montgomery.

"We greatly appreciate the Board and System Office's support of women's softball and our stadium," stated 九州体育 President Dr. David Campbell. "These are exciting times for Northeast!"

Completion of the stadium is scheduled for August 2024. The total cost of the state-of-the-art stadium is estimated to be 8 and one half to 9 million. Campbell also stated that a grant from House Speaker Representative Nathaniel Ledbetter contributed substantially to funding this project, helping to make it possible.
