National Pro Fastpitch announced the 2016 Championship Series will be held at Rhoads Stadium in Tuscaloosa Alabama and will take place August 19-23. Rhoads is the home field of the National Champion University of Alabama softball team and holds the prestigious honor of leading the nation in NCAA regular season attendance for the past 9 consecutive years.

The previous award of the Championship Series was for a three-year stint, 2014-2016, and placed the league’s hallmark event at the Hoover Metropolitan Stadium. However, due to scheduling conflicts in the multi-purpose venue that required lead-time for converting the playing surface to a football field, the facility became unavailable for the desired dates of the 2016 NPF Championship.

“We were fortunate in 2015 to experience a record attendance for our Championship Series in only our second year in Alabama,” commented NPF Commissioner, Cheri Kempf. “Re-locating the venue just a short distance away in Tuscaloosa will allow us to capitalize on regional consistency with the Series. It also can not be understated, the beautiful facility that is Rhoads Stadium and the overwhelming support of local and regional fans for the sport of fastpitch softball.”
