On April 25, 2019, a tornado struck the Louisiana Tech campus, completely destroying the team's home stadium that was then known as the Lady Techster Softball Complex.

In Bill Galloway’s first season as head coach of the Lady Techsters in 1981, he led Tech to a record of 52-18 and the first of three trips to the College World Series, and the tradition of winning and dominance throughout the 1980s began.

[2] Overall, the Lady Techsters boast three Louisiana Tech College World Series teams (1983, 1985, 1986), 11 NCAA Regional squads (1982, 1983, 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1995, 2008, 2017, 2019) and five NFCA All-Americans.

Initially built at a cost of $200,000 in the early 1980s under the supervision of former head coach Bill Galloway and former Tech president F. Jay Taylor, the 550-seat facility boasts brick-walled dugouts, wooden lockers, lights, batting cage and electronic scoreboard.

At the time of its completion in the early ’80s, it was considered one of the finest softball facilities in the country as the nationally-ranked Louisiana Tech squads drew large crowds.
