MADISON – Signs of spring are almost here in Rocket City, as baseball and, for the first time, softball are set to take place at Toyota Field in less than a month.
Before the Trash Pandas hit the diamond on April 4 against Chattanooga, Toyota Field will host 35 high school and college baseball and softball games from Feb. 14 to March 27.
“We are thrilled to welcome a record number of local college and high school baseball and softball teams to Toyota Field this spring,” said Trash Pandas Executive Vice President and General Manager Garrett Fahrmann. “The Trash Pandas are always seeking innovative ways to engage with our community, and events like the Rocket City Softball Showcase reflect our commitment to thinking outside the box.
“We recognize the importance of providing local athletes with the opportunity to compete at this premier venue, and we look forward to seeing them showcase their talents in front of their fans and families.”
The action opens with UNA facing Army in a three-game series Feb. 14-16.
Following that, Toyota Field will transform into a softball venue Feb. 19-24 for the Rocket City Softball Showcase, presented by PNC Bank.
College baseball will return March 11 when Auburn hosts UT Martin, followed by Alabama and UNA on March 25. Bank Independent is presenting the college baseball games at Toyota Field in 2025.
