Farrington Stadium is considered one of the nation's top collegiate softball fields providing high-end amenities such as chair-back bleachers and individual seats, restrooms, built-in concessions, and stadium shop for fans. A new press box with a seating capacity of 16 was added in 2013. In 2014, solar panels were added to the stadium. The panels were placed above the seating areas providing shade for the spectators.[2]

The Sun Devils have earned 16 postseason bids, fourth all-time in the Pac-10 Conference, and has made four trips to the Women's College World Series. Prior to the current NCAA format, ASU went to seven WCWS, claiming back-to-back national titles in 1972 and 1973. In 2008, the softball team won the universities first Women's College World Series sweeping the Texas A&M Aggies (3-game sweep) in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

In February 2019, a new netting system was installed at Farrington Softball Stadium by West Coast Netting Incorporated. The netting system is poleless and uses high tension cables to hold the netting taut.
