Humble Beginnings
Devon Park first opened its doors in 1973. Back then, it was just comprised of the National Softball Hall of Fame and Museum and the USA headquarters. It wasn’t until 1987 that the softball stadium was built and added to the complex. With its four fields, jumbo video screen and 7,300-seat capacity, it’s considered by many to be the best softball facility in the world.
The NCAA didn’t start to organize a national championship tournament for softball until 1982.
After the tournament was held in Nebraska and California for the first eight years, it was moved permanently to Oklahoma City and Devon Park in 1990.
