This weekend should be a big deal for the No. 12 Stanford University softball team at its new stadium. The program will host the defending national champion and currently No. 3 Texas Longhorns and No. 15 Arizona Wildcats at home. Instead, those games will be moved to West Valley College’s Viking Stadium near Saratoga, California.
