PITTSBURGH - The Petersen Sports Complex is receiving its final touches before being unveiled for the opening weekend of play.
The state-of-the-art facility was made possible by a generous and substantial gift from alumnus John Petersen and his wife Gertrude for the construction of the Panthers' new stadiums.
The Petersen Sports Complex was built on 12 acres at the peak of Pitt's upper campus, and provides homes for the Panthers' baseball, softball and men's and women's soccer teams. The Petersen Sports Complex not only gives Pitt student-athletes nationally competitive facilities, but it also will rejuvenate a previously untapped area of land that neighbors the University of Pittsburgh campus.
Pitt baseball is scheduled to open play at the Petersen Sports Complex this weekend against IPFW in a three-game series. Check back with PittsburghPanthers.com for updated schedules and the latest information.
