The Nebraska softball team will host the 2027 Big Ten Tournament at Rhonda Revelle Field at Bowlin Stadium in Lincoln, Neb, the conference announced on Thursday. The Huskers also hosted the conference tournament in 2013 and are the first team to host the tournament twice since its return in 2013.
“We are honored that Nebraska and Bowlin Stadium have been selected as the host site for the 2027 Big Ten Tournament,” head coach Rhonda Revelle said. “Our staff will take pride in putting on a first-class event. The environment at Bowlin Stadium will be electric.”
Bowlin Stadium, which opened in 2002 and has been updated multiple times since, offers various amenities, including seating for over 3,000 fans, dugouts with restrooms, a video board, two bullpens, concessions, a ticket booth and a press box. The stadium has 1,158 chairback seats and bleachers along the first and third base lines, along with berm seating in the outfield. Bowlin Stadium’s clubhouse features a team locker room and lounge, coaches offices, medical facilities and more.
The Huskers also utilize the Alex Gordon Training Complex. Completed in the fall of 2011, the training center sits behind right field at Bowlin Stadium and has 18,000 square feet of climate-controlled practice space that allows for working on all phases of the game. The space can be configured to utilize as many as six spacious batting cages. The cages can also be retracted to open up all of the 120-foot by 150-foot space for live game simulation. The entire facility is netted, allowing for the Huskers to take live batting practice. The field turf surface looks and feels like real grass, and the field includes anchors to lock down bases for use during practices.
Each of the top 10 attendance marks in Nebraska softball history have been set in the last two years at Bowlin Stadium. In 2026, Nebraska had nine games with an attendance over 3,000 fans. The Huskers ranked third nationally with an average attendance of 2,780 fans per game in 2026.
The Big Red claimed the Big Ten Tournament title in 2022 and 2026 and reached the semifinals in 2023, 2024, 2025.
Revelle returns for her 35th year at the helm of the Nebraska softball program, which made its eighth Women’s College World Series appearance last season after sweeping the Big Ten regular-season and tournament titles.
