From 1976 to the early 1990s, the Griffons called Walnut Park off campus home. In the early 90s, the Griffons moved on campus to the MWSU Softball Complex, where they played through the 2009 season. The complex which was located in front of Spratt Stadium is now the parking lot for the Griffon Indoor Sports Complex. During the construction of the Spring Sports Complex, the team played the 2010 season at Heritage Park Softball Complex on the banks of the Missouri River.
