Matador Diamond, with a seating capacity of 1,000, is the
site of all home Cal State Northridge softball games. It is
located on the Cal State Northridge campus, parallel to
Zelzah Avenue and between Plummer and Lassen
Streets.

The facility has enjoyed numerous renovations and
additions in recent years. During the offseason, a press
box and permanent bleachers were added. In 2003, a
warning track was added to the outfield, as well as
padding to the outfield wall to protect the safety of players.
In 1997, Northridge introduced stadium-style sunken
dugouts. Matador Diamond also received a facelift with
the addition of new sod behind home plate and in front of
the new dugouts.

In 1996, the Matadors unveiled a state-of-the-art
scoreboard, complete with graphic display capabilities
as well as lighted inning-by-inning runs and team
names.

Cal State Northridge began playing at Matador Diamond
in 1982. The Matadors claimed their first victory in the
facility with a 23-0 triumph over Loyola Marymount on Feb.
25, 1982.

Matador Diamond features a concession stand (Grand
Slam Cafe), three batting cages and a storage facility for
equipment. The playing surface of Matador Diamond
includes an all dirt infield consisting of decomposed
granite, crushed brick and sand. The outfield is natural
grass.

Matador Diamond's dimensions are 200 feet down the
right field line, 200 feet down the left field line and 220
feet to straight away center field.

Cal State Northridge's Matador Diamond has been the
site of three-straight NCAA Division I Softball Regionals.
In 1993, the Matadors hosted the No. 2 Regional,
followed by the No. 3 Regional in 1994 and the No. 4
Regional in 1995.
