Koehler Hall of Fame Field – The Facility
Koehler Hall of Fame Field and the Regional Sports Complex are one of three projects included in the Educational Impact Campaign. Koehler Hall of Fame Field is the preeminent softball stadium in the Upper Midwest and one of the finest NCAA Division II facilities in the entire country. Named in honor of a generous lead gift from NSU alumnus Jim Koehler, the Field consists of an all-synthetic turf field, in-ground dugouts, bullpens and batting cages, chair back seating, multiple berms surrounding the stadium, and a media / suite area directly behind home plate. The facility officially opened in the fall of 2021. Pets are not permitted in the facility unless they are a certified service animal.
