Rawlings Softball Complex
Colorado State University Pueblo's Rawlings Sports Complex is one of the region's finest multi-sport complexes, housing the CSU Pueblo baseball, men's and women's lacrosse, softball, men's and women's soccer programs.
The Rawlings Sports Complex features a 2,500-seat baseball facility, Rawlings Field, and the four-diamond Rawlings Softball Complex, as well as the Art and Lorraine Gonzales Soccer & Lacrosse Stadium.Â
The three facilities together opened in 1994, to usher in the creation of the women's soccer, baseball and softball programs at CSU Pueblo. The construction was made possible with a $1 million gift by Pueblo Chieftain publisher, Robert H. Rawlings, and earned the distinction of being the "best outdoor facility in the nation" by Athletic Management magazine. For his contribution, Rawlings was named the 1996 College Division donor of the year by the National Association of Athletic Development Directors.
In 2017, the traditional softball field was replaced with synthetic surface to cover the entire playing surface. In 2020, the facility received more upgrades, including a 300-seat permanent bleacher structure allowing fans a more comfortable viewing experience while creating a better home field advantage for the Pack. Press box upgrades, audio improvements, grand entrance installation and parking lot renovations helped elevate this premier sports venue.
The Rawlings Sports Complex also features three additional diamonds, with natural playing surface. These spaced are used regularly by Pack softball, CSU Pueblo Marching Band and for local recreational purposes.
