BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – WKU Softball's Wednesday game against No. 2 Alabama from the WKU Softball Complex will now air on ESPN+ instead of Facebook Live. A direct link to the stream is available HERE.
The move to the subscription-based service marks the second time in the last two seasons the Hilltoppers have had a home game picked up by an outside entity as the 2021 Conference USA Championship aired live on CBS Sports Network. Wednesday's game will be produced by ESPN.
While Wednesday's 5 p.m. CT contest is sold out in the stadium, fans can still purchase a ticket at the parking structure to view from the open-air building in left field. Tickets are no longer available online and are only available at the gate on game day.
Gates to the stadium will open at 3:30 p.m. CT for fans with previously purchased tickets. There will not be reserved seating. Parking will be available in the Creason Lot beyond the field's outfield fence. Spectator parking will not be available in Parking Structure 3, just the surrounding lot.
Alabama leads the all-time series, 6-0, with the most recent meeting coming back in 2013, prior to Amy Tudor's return to the program as the head coach. Wednesday's contest will mark the first-ever meeting in Bowling Green.
The 2022 campaign is also the first time the Hilltopper program has ever hosted two SEC teams in the same season as No. 10 Arkansas visited The Hill back on March 21.
