The NSU Softball Field serves as the on-campus site for all Spartan 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.
The field is also home to an enclosed batting cage for the home team, located on the third-base side of the facility. The home team's warm-up bullpen area sits in front of a large lighted scoreboard beyond the left-field fence and was redone prior to the 2017 season. The field also boasts a bullpen and batting cage for visiting teams down the right field line beyond the bleachers. The batting cage was installed and the bullpen was renovated prior to the 2018 season.
The NSU Softball Field is also one of only a few 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 in both dugouts and an elevated press box to the existing facility. The press box also serves as the main office for both softball coaches.
