History made at Stanford Stadium! 🥎🏟️⁣
•⁣
In a game dubbed “The Big Swing,” Stanford softball shattered the NCAA attendance record with a crowd of 13,207 fans showing out to watch their home rivalry matchup against Cal — the largest attendance ever for a college softball game. 🔥⁣
•⁣
That number beat out the previous record of 12,566 set at the 2024 Women’s College World Series and smashed the regular-season record of 9,259 set earlier this month by Oklahoma. 💪⁣
•⁣
With Stanford’s usual ballpark under a $50 million renovation, the team has been playing its home games at the football stadium — and it all led up to this moment. 👏⁣
•⁣
Former Stanford football star and current GM Andrew Luck even threw out the ceremonial first pitch. 👀⁣
•⁣
Although No. 15 Stanford fell 10–8, Cal avoided the weekend sweep and the energy was unmatched. 🥳⁣
•⁣
A historic day for college softball, and a massive W for the sport’s continued rise! 💫🥎 #thegist⁣
