The much-anticipated addition to Cougar Softball, Houston's youngest intercollegiate athletic program, was the completion of Cougar Softball Stadium prior to the 2002 season. The $2.4 million complex sports home locker rooms, laundry facilities and a press box which includes separate radio and television booths. The NCAA-regulation field has a top-quality infield and outfield, and seats up to 1,200 softball fans in comfortable chairback seating in the lower bowl, concessions areas and accessible parking.

Located next to the Carl Lewis Complex on the corner of Scott and Elgin Streets on the UH campus, Cougar Softball Field was made possible through the generous donation of UH alumni John and Rebecca Moores.

According to Daktronics, the new outfield video board is the fifth largest at an on-campus softball stadium in the country and the largest in the state of Texas entering the 2018 season.
