Rhoads Stadium, College softball stadium in Tuscaloosa, United States.

Rhoads Stadium opened on February 23, 2000, with a 7–1 Alabama win over the UAB Blazers. Before that, the Crimson Tide played its first season at Sokol Park and used Bowers Park in 1998 and 1999. The venue is named for John L. Rhoads, a University of Alabama graduate and longtime Ernst & Ernst partner, who died in 2001.
The stadium's name honours John L. Rhoads, a University of Alabama graduate and long-time partner at the accounting firm Ernst & Ernst, who died in 2001. The Crimson Tide hold an all-time record at the venue of 316 wins and 50 losses, a .863 winning rate.
Rhoads Stadium sits at the northeast corner of the University of Alabama campus, at the junction of Peter Bryce Boulevard and Campus Drive in Tuscaloosa.
