The NSU Softball Field serves as the on-campus site for all Spartans’ home softball games. The field has bleacher seating for 500 fans and is wheelchair accessible. An 8-foot permanent fence encircles the outfield and is 200 feet from home plate down the lines and to straight-away center field. An enclosed batting cage is located on the third-base side of the facility. A pitchers’ warm-up area sits behind a large lighted scoreboard beyond the left-field fence.
The NSU Softball Field is also one of the only facilities in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference with lighting for night games. The complex underwent a major renovation in the summer and fall of 2007 to add cinderblock home and visitors’ dugouts, additional bathrooms and an elevated press box to the existing facility.
The field was showcased on national television for the first time on May 5, 2007, when the Spartans defeated perennial MEAC power Florida A&M in a live broadcast on ESPNU.
