Bowlin StadiumThe home of Nebraska Softball is located in Haymarket Park only a half mile west of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln campus. The 2004 SportsTurf Managers Association Field of the Year holds up to 2,500 fans. The largest crowd consisted of 1,960 against Texas in 2011. Since the opening of the stadium in 2001 the Huskers have won more than 70 percent of their games at Bowlin Stadium thanks to support from Husker Nation. Nebraska has been ranked in the top 10 nationally in attendance in seven of the 11 seasons since Bowlin Stadium opened. Bowlin Stadium has allowed Nebraska to serve as an NCAA Regional host in 2003, 2004, 2005, and 2007. This year Bowlin Stadium will host the first ever Big Ten Softball Conference Tournament since the new conference realignments in 2011.
