Marian Kneer Stadium

The Marian Kneer Softball Stadium has been the home of Redbird softball since it opened on April 3, 1999. Originally known as the Redbird Softball Complex, the facility was renamed the Marian Kneer Softball Stadium on July 25, 2008, following a generous donation by Dr. Marian Kneer, a longtime supporter of Illinois State softball and the Illinois State Athletics Department.

The complex, which is located on the east side of Adelaide Street, features a natural grass playing surface, lights, convenient parking, outstanding media facilities, and excellent seating for fans.

Since the opening of Marian Kneer Softball Stadium, the Redbirds have won more than 70 percent of their home games and has hosted the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament five times (2002, 2007, 2014, 2017. 2024).
