Palm Beach Atlantic is pleased to have one of the finest softball fields in Division II to call their first home field. Simpson Field opens to much fanfare after PBA softball spent years traveling around Palm Beach County to venues for games. Simpson Field measures out to be a hitter’s dream, with 200-foot lines to the left and right field corners, and 220 feet to straight away center field.
Along with the mirror-image practice field, Palm Beach Atlantic is now a prime candidate for hosting tournaments thanks to its world-class playing surface, brilliant 10-inning LED scoreboard, 300-seat viewing area, and brand-new concession stand.
