History

Liberty Softball Stadium was built in 2014 on the site of the old Al Worthington Stadium after it was demolished. In March of 2014, Liberty University announced that they would be naming the stadium "Kamphuis Field at Liberty Softball Stadium" in honor of Dwayne Kamphuis, a hall of fame softball play and donor to Liberty University.[3]

The stadium includes 1,000 chairback seats, home, visitor and umpires’ locker rooms, team room, situation room, coaches’ offices, indoor batting tunnels, two full bullpens and an expansive athletic training room. The state-of-the art pressbox houses all game operations, home and visiting radio booths, TV booth and President's suite.[4]
