COLLEGE STATION – Texas A&M softball's state-of-the-art Davis Diamond was named the Turface Athletics/National Fastpitch Coaches Association Field of the Year, the NFCA Awards Committee announced Friday.
Â
The top stadiums in the nation were recognized with the award for their flawless grounds maintenance and exceptional playing surfaces.
Â
"The Texas A&M field staff is honored to receive the softball field of the year award," athletic fields manager Craig Potts said. "We take great pride in all of our fields. We could not do this without the support of our softball coaches, players and our administration, who put a lot of emphasis on quality athletic surfaces."
Â
Davis Diamond, the premier softball stadium in the country, debuted for the last home regular season series last year against No. 12 Auburn in which the Aggies swept the Tigers, 3-1, 1-0 and 7-1.
Â
The stadium was on display during the NCAA Regionals as the Aggies defeated Prairie View A&M, McNeese and Baylor in the College Station Regional.
Â
In the six games played at Davis Diamond, Texas A&M averaged 2,030 fans a game, which would have ranked third nationally.
Â
2019 is set to be a historic season for the inaugural campaign of Davis Diamond and fans can get a part of the action by purchasing season tickets beginning Oct. 15 through the 12th Man Foundation, the official ticket provider of Texas A&M Athletics, at www.12thManFoundation.com.
Â
Fans can get their first glimpse of the newly-finished stadium as the Aggies open the fall season with a doubleheader against Blinn College beginning at 4 p.m. on Oct. 30.
