Cowgirl Stadium is a softball facility at Oklahoma State University, serving as the home field for the OSU softball team. Opened on April 5, 2000, with funds from the OSU-Nebraska football game at Kansas City's Arrowhead Stadium on Oct. 3, 1998. The game's sponsor, Western Star, provided the necessary financing for the stadium, which is located on the northeast corner of the OSU campus, near Duck Street and McElroy Road. Built for approximately $2 million on the same site as the former Cowgirl Field, the stadium features 452 chairback seats in orange, bleacher seating for 300, and a patio over the home-team dugout for fans to watch the game. The stadium's construction began on June 14, 1999, and included new dugouts, a permanent concession stand and bathroom facilities. Further additions were completed in 2002, including coaches' offices, a locker room, a players' lounge and a training room.
