Over the 42 years of its existence, Mizzou Softball has proven itself a Women's College World Series-level program. Beginning in 2017, the Tigers have a facility that matches the excellence of the team.
The $17.5 million Mizzou Softball Stadium is the latest jewel within the Sports Park, and has ample amenities for fans and players alike. Featuring over 700 chairback seats – nearly 10 times the total of its predecessor, University Field – along with bleachers and a spacious outfield berm, the stadium can easily accommodate 2,500 fans.
Fans entering the stadium are greeted by a beautiful brick façade, complemented by a Centria paneling system. The stadium offers beautiful views whether sitting in the infield seating, or atop the berm area. LED lit ‘Mizzou Tigers’ signage hangs from the press level, and an LED-lit lantern piece sets atop the facility's main elevator.
A "full-view" concourse allows fans to not miss a pitch while visiting one of two concession stands or the on-site Tiger Team Store. The concourse is located beneath a spacious elevated press box, which feaures dedicated broadcast and radio booths, space for working press and game management, and a Club Suite.

Fans will also appreciate the brand-new video board; with over 300 square feet of LED display, it is much larger than the previous board at University Field.
The new field's dimensions are 200 feet at the foul lines and 220 feet at center field. A 10-foot, crushed-brick warning track separates the six-foot wall from an expansive outfield of lush Kentucky Bluegrass, carefully tended by Jerry Cummings and the Mizzou Sports Turf staff. The DuraEdge infield lays atop a drainage system built to USGA specs.
Both teams are protected from the elements by bench-heated dugouts, and have access to bullpens down their respective foul lines, and batting cages underneath the stands. In addition, six dedicated TV-camera wells allow for easy production of SEC Network telecasts.
The Tigers' home-team suite is located directly behind the third-base dugout, and includes, besides 32 lockers, amenities such as a mud room, equipment-storage area and coaches meeting room.
