Bill Simoni Field

Bill Simoni Field has been the home of the Tiger softball team since its completion in 1993. It is located just east of Amos Alonzo Stagg Memorial Stadium, shadowed by the Pacific Club that sits atop the east rim of the stadium. Construction of the facility was laid out in three stages, including the playing surface, press box, and lighting. The press box and landscaping were completed in 1995.

Simoni Field has been distinguished as one of the elite fields on the West Coast. The softball team's recent collegiate successes have been boosted by the development of the field. There are 350 stadium seats as well as ample grass area to watch the game. The dimensions of the field are 190 feet down each line, 205 feet to the alleys and 220 feet to straightaway center.

The field is named after long-time supporter Bill Simoni. Simoni played fast-pitch softball for 32 years, from his teens until 1973. He played on various Stockton area teams, including the Stockton Merchants who he pitched to a second place finish in the 1960 World Tournament in Long Island, NY. He pitched seven games in five days in the tournament, earning MVP and First Team All-World honors. He also pitched 12 perfect games and 45 no-hitters in his career, with a fastball clocked at 104 miles per hour in 1961.
