[1] In 1975, the Oklahoma State University Softball Team began playing on a field where later the future stadium would be built.

Recognizing the need to support the team with a better facility, the Oklahoma State University Board of Regents authorized improvements with an estimated cost of $45,000 in the fall of 1978.

The second phase included the addition of aluminum bleachers to accommodate the growing attendance and a parking area was designated.

To complete the third phase of field lighting, funding was sought from gifts through the OSU Foundation for the estimated cost of $38,000.

Funding for the estimated $2 million construction cost came from the sponsor's money made from the football game between the Oklahoma State University Cowboys and the University of Nebraska's Huskers played at the Kansas City's Arrowhead Stadium on October 3, 1998.
