NC State softball ushered in a new era of play with the opening of the Curtis & Jacqueline Dail Softball Stadium during the 2008 season. Situated across from historic Reynolds Coliseum, the picturesque campus setting serves as the background for one of the best softball facilities in the ACC.
The stadium features a lengthy and spacious concourse with concessions, ample rest rooms, multiple ticket booths and storage rooms. A press box features comfortable accommodations for working media and game day staff, as well as high-speed internet access.
The outfield playing surface is comprised of 419 bermuda grass, with perennial rye grass used for overseeding purposes. The outfield fence measures at 200 feet to left and right field, with center field measuring 210 feet. An operating line score scoreboard sits beyond the fence in right field, supplying scores and statistical information to fans in attendance. Stadium lights surround the yard, allowing for games to be played at all hours.
The ballpark was named in honor of Wolfpack Club boosters Curtis and Jacqueline Dail. With a lengthy history of supporting NC State athletics, the Dail's have several other State facilities named in their honor; including Doak Field at Dail Park (baseball), Dail Basketball Center (men's basketball), Dail Outdoor Practice Facility (football) and the Curtis & Jacqueline Dail Outdoor Tennis Stadium (men's and women's tennis).
Prior to the opening of its own on-campus stadium, the Wolfpack played its home games at the Walnut Creek Softball Complex. Operated by the city of Raleigh, State used the facility from 2004-07, posting a record of 44-18.
