Soccer and Track & Field Complex

SOCCER AND TRACK & FIELD

In 2014, UTRGV is constructed a soccer and track & field stadium on campus property in-between Jackson Road and the UTRGV Wellness and Recreational Sports Complex. The facility has access from Jackson Road. The construction of concessions, restrooms, offices/training, locker rooms, bleacher seating, lighting and press box will only begin with private funding. The UTRGV Soccer and Track & Field Stadium became the newest athletic facility on a growing campus of over 20,000 students and serves as a focal point for welcoming spectators and participants from throughout the local Rio Grande Valley communities, the State of Texas, and the nation. Beginning in the fall of 2015, the stadium hosts a full home schedule of NCAA Division I men’s and women’s soccer. This consists of 20-24 varsity matches, with associated scrimmages and practice sessions. Additionally, the track & field area surrounding the soccer field could host an intended two-four NCAA Division I Track & Field competitions, beginning with the 2015-16 academic year. The initial construction phase of the soccer and track & field stadium included the soccer field, track and field area. Later construction phases for the complex and stadium will allow for lighting, bleacher seating for 1,000 spectators, press box, concession, and restroom facilities. A third phase will include expanded seating (potentially in excess of 5,000 seats), expanded press

box, practice fields, and visiting and home team amenities such as locker rooms, training rooms, team rooms, and offices for coaches. The initial soccer field will be of exceptional quality. As such, care will be taken to protect the high quality of the playing surface from adverse effects of extreme weather and wear-and-tear. Despite these precautions, it is expected that the soccer field/stadium will host numerous outside events, including professional matches, exhibitions, camps, clinics, and high school competitions.
