Opened in 1995, it is the home field of the California Golden Bears of the Pac-12, with a seating capacity of 1,204.

[4][5] Despite being a fairly new stadium, Levine-Fricke Field does not have lights to support night softball games and up until the opening of the Simpson Center in 2011, the softball program's locker rooms and training facilities were woefully out of date.

On May 13, 2012, it was announced that Levine-Fricke Field would host postseason action for the first time in the venue's history.

Despite the fact that the California softball program has been one of the more successful programs in the country, and earning a national seed on many different occasions in the past, the Bears hosted NCAA tournament games in 2012 for the first time since the 1993 season (the team then played at Strawberry Field).

[6] The main reason for this, is that Levine-Fricke Field is not considered up to NCAA standards because of its inability to host television crews and have night games.
