Directions to the Inspiration Field
Inspiration Field at Carol Willis Park, the site of the 2025 NCAA Division III National Championship, is home to Titan softball and is regarded as one of the top facilities in the country. It was voted the Netting Professionals NFCA Division III Field of the Year in the fall of 2025.
The lighted field was inaugurated on April 14, 2000 and has since hosted countless NCAA regionals and super regionals along with several College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin tournaments. It has also been the site for many Illinois High School Association regular season and playoff games, as well as youth softball competitions for a variety of age groups.
Since 2019, the venue has shifted from a dirt playing surface to a turf infield. The facility was renamed to Inspiration Field at Carol Willis Park in the spring of 2021 following the addition of the Titans' new hitting facility. Additional upgrades have included a scoreboard along with a videoboard in left field, and the installation of a new pressbox. Prior to the national championship, the outfield fence was converted to state-of-the-art wall padding that displays the success of IWU softball. The venue also includes updated dugouts, new chairback seating behind home plate, and a picnic pavilion.
