UD Arena | Welcome Stadium | Baujan Field | Frericks Center | Time Warner Cable Stadium

In 2005, the University of Dayton softball program played its first game in the new UD Softball Stadium. UD Softball Stadium is part of the UD Sports Complex, a multi-million dollar project located on Edwin C. Moses Boulevard near the UD Arena on the banks of the Great Miami River. The complex is comprised of the new UD Softball Stadium, Time Warner Cable Stadium (baseball), the Jerry Von Mohr Practice Facility (football, track & field), UD Arena (baseketball), and Welcome Stadium (football). UD softball stadium features dugouts, batting cages, bullpens with multiple pitching rubbers and a state-of-the-art natural grass playing surface. Future plans include grandstand seating, press box, concessions and permanent restrooms. The unique location along the river offers fans scenic views of the river and Carrillon park while enjoying Dayton Flyers softball games.

"We are fortunate to have one of the best facilities in the region. Our idyllic location in the Arena Sports Complex along I-75 offers easy accessability. The river backdrop provides a picturesque view. The field surface is flawless and holds up to various weather conditions. Teams and spectators will have a great experience at UD Softball Stadium." - Head Coach Cara Clark
