About Alberta B. Farrington Softball Stadium
Welcome to Alberta B. Farrington Softball Stadium, the proud home of Sun Devil Softball!
Alberta B. Farrington Softball Stadium is a premier collegiate facility on ASU’s campus in Tempe, Arizona. Since its inaugural season in 2000, ‘Club Farrington’ has been home to the Sun Devils Softball team, consistently one of the top programs in NCAA Division I softball.
Celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2025, the facility has welcomed over 800,000 spectators to watch ASU win hundreds of games. It’s touted as one of the best playing surfaces in the nation, and the facility has also received two major awards for design and excellence in architecture.
Beyond its championship-caliber field, Farrington Stadium offers fans an intimate, electric atmosphere that captures the spirit of Sun Devil Softball. The 1,200-seat stadium has shaded seating, top-tier lighting, and a modern press box that hosts national broadcasts each season. Its outfield berms provide a relaxed, family-friendly way to enjoy the game under the Arizona sun.
Located just south of Rio Salado Parkway near Packard Drive, Farrington Stadium is easily accessible for fans on Game Day. Parking is available in nearby lots and structures surrounding the athletic complex, with convenient walking paths leading directly to the gates.
Check the Game Day schedule, get your tickets, and come see what the NCAA calls “one of the most aesthetically pleasing places to watch a game” and what one Yelp reviewer has deemed “the softball field of dreams.”
