Jackson, Tennessee – In the Spring of 2022, the Bruins will be playing baseball in Overton Stadium!
According to a press release from Pam Stanfield – USJ’s director of marketing and communications – at the conclusion of the 2021 baseball season, renovations will begin on the current University School of Jackson baseball complex.
USJ is able to start this project so soon due to the generosity of John and Whitney Overton.
Their son, Jake, was a Bruins baseball player and a 2017 USJ graduate, and their daughter Olivia is a USJ sophomore who plays softball and volleyball.
The dedication of the baseball stadium comes on the heels of our new Lady Bruins Facility, artificial turf and football upgrades at Carlock Stadium, a resurfaced track, upgrades to our soccer, softball, and basketball facilities, and within the coming months, the relocation and enhancement of our new tennis complex.
To date, more than $5.5 million has been raised, and 14 major capital projects have been completed or are in progress on the USJ campus.
