Haines & Carolyn Hill Stadium Photo Gallery | 2014 Turf Fields Construction UpdateHome to the University of North Georgia softball team, Haines & Carolyn Hill Stadium was constructed during the fall of 2008 and features a first-class facility for the Nighthawks. With 222 chair back seats and a newly constructed terraced bank down the third base line, fans will enjoy a perfect venue for NCAA softball. The newly constructed “The Hill” features three separate press boxes for media members that stretch 45 feet. “The Hill” was home to the 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2014 NCAA Southeast Regional and Super Regional with a record single-game attendance of 587.
Home to the Nighthawk softball team for the last 11 seasons, "The Hill" is the premier softball facility in NCAA Division II. In the spring of 2008, a state-of-the-art Daktronics scoreboard was placed in right-center which stretches 28 feet wide and 20 feet high and features LED lettering and a wireless transmitting device. FieldTurf was installed at the stadium in 2014 as part of a renovation project to the outdoor facilities at UNG, giving the Nighthawks a field to play on regardless of weather conditions. A new Major League quality padded wall was constructed around the entire field after the installation of FieldTurf making the playing surface not only one of the most beautiful in the country, but one of the safest to play on as well.
About FieldTurf | FieldTurf was developed and engineered for athletes, by athletes. The company that changed the way athletes view "artificial turf". Before FieldTurf, natural grass was considered by many to be the best solution for sports fields around the world - even though it required constant maintenance and could not withstand heavy use. FieldTurf's inventors were not trying to create a better artificial solution, they were trying to replicate natural grass. Throughout the last decade our engineered, infilled artificial turf systems became the first to host two Super Bowls, the World Series, the World Baseball Classic, a Major League Soccer Cup final and College Bowl games from coast to coast. Today, FieldTurf continues to thrive as the global market leader in synthetic sports fields with more than 7,000 fields installed. Cities and schools have been benefitting from our ability to provide the very best value for the short and long term, allowing organizations at all levels to be able to forecast the amount of money they will save by installing FieldTurf, the safest, longest lasting and highest performing artificial turf system.
