Facility InformationThe University of North Texas is located in Denton, TX. The Mean Green softball team plays its home games at Lovelace Stadium located within the Mean Green Olympic Sports Village.

Lovelace Stadium (“The Lace”), named for Don Lovelace, Denton businessman and president of Lily of the Desert Organic Aloeceuticals, was constructed as part of the Mean Green’s overhaul of its athletic facilities beginning in 2005 with the creation of the Mean Green Village. The first game was played at Lovelace Stadi-um in 2007, and the Sun Belt Conference Tournament was hosted there in 2009.

Lovelace’s field combines natural elements with synthetic enhancements. The infield is clay-based dirt and the warning track is Hilltopper Infield Mix, which is soil stabilized with a polymer that allows to it to shrug off weather, keeping it from being too dusty or muddy, and creates a more consistent playing surface. The outfield is natural grass.

The outfield wall is 200 feet from home plate down the left- and right-field lines and 220 feet to centerfield.

Lovelace has a grandstand behind home plate topped by an enclosed, cli-mate-controlled press box and flanked on the first- and third-base lines by cov-ered dugouts. The seating capacity is 371.

Like the neighboring Mean Green Soccer Complex, Lovelace uses a lighting sys-tem by Musco, the award-winning company which provided lighting for Yankee Stadium, the rededication of the Statue of Liberty, multiple Super Bowls and Olym-pic Games, the Winter X Games, Texas Motor Speedway and numerous feature films.

The softball team also benefits from batting cages at the The “E” Practice Facility.
