Middle Tennessee State University Athletics
Blue Raider Softball Field
Once referred to as Observatory Park by many in the athletic department due to the location of the astrology department’s observation tower behind the first base bleachers, the Blue Raider softball field was built in 1994.
Middle Tennessee unveiled its newly renovated softball complex on April 18, 2006. The $500,000 enhancement project included a concession stand, public restrooms, two camera decks, new dugouts and a landscaped entrance area.
In 2020, Blue Raider Softball Field received another set of upgrades: a video board and padded outfield walls. The new video board stretches just over 27-feet wide by just over 14-feet tall and replaced the original scoreboard. The 16:9 ratio displays LED video.
Middle Tennessee didn’t waste any time planning and executing another round of upgrades. University and athletic department officials cut ribbon on Feb. 8, 2021 to signify the completion of Blue Raider Softball Field’s newest update: bench back and chair back seating as well as a brick entryway.
Since 1994, the Blue Raiders have amassed 270 wins and 262 losses at Blue Raider Softball Field entering the 2024 campaign.
The Blue Raider indoor hitting facility features two batting cages and storage for the softball team.
Padded outfield walls were added in the 2020 upgrades to Blue Raider Softball Field.
A state-of-the-art LED video board made its Blue Raider Softball Field debut in 2020.
Blue chairbacks and bench backs were part of the most recent updates for 2021.
A new brick entryway greets fans as they make their way into Blue Raider Softball Field.
