Kentucky - Soccer: The UK Soccer Complex was dedicated in 1996 and seats up to 1,500. The facility contains a practice field, locker rooms and a training room.

Marshall - Sam Hood Field

Sam Hood Field was built in 1995, thanks to a generous donation from local businessman and former Marshall men's soccer coach Sam Hood. Prior to 1996, the Herd played its home games on the artificial surface of James F. Edwards Field. Since the completion of the facility, local interest in soccer has skyrocketed. The men's and women's programs enjoys outstanding fan support. On several occasions, Herd soccer crowds have gone well above the 1,000 mark.

The facility features permanent bleachers with field level seating for over 1,500 fans. On soccer game days, vocal Thundering Herd fans fill the stands, giving the soccer programs a distinct home field advantage.

Arguably, the most exciting aspect of Sam Hood Field is the playing surface itself, Bermuda grass. Bermuda grass is the world's premier surface for soccer and Marshall University is one of the northern-most schools to have such a surface.

Marshall University is committed to having the finest facilities in Conference USA and is constantly upgrading all athletics venues to provide its student-athletes with the very best and Sam Hood Field is no exception. In 1997, lights were added to the field giving the Thundering Herd soccer teams the flexibility to host night matches and in 1998 a new electronic scoreboard was erected at the field.

The men's soccer team utilizes strength and conditioning facilities in the Shewey Athletic Center at Marshall University Stadium and in the Cam Henderson Center.

Memphis - Mike Rose Soccer Complex

The 2006 season will mark the sixth season the Memphis Tigers will call the Mike Rose Soccer Complex home. The complex was the site of the 2003 Ford Conference USA Tournament.

The state-of-the-art facility sits on 136.17 acres and houses 16 FIFA dimension fields equipped with Bermuda grass, superior playing surface complete with underground drainage, sprinkler systems and lighted playing fields. Accompanying these fields are fully paved walkways, easily accessible parking, restrooms, covered pavilions, picnic and recreation areas and a three-acre lake. It is a definite asset to both the Tiger and Lady Tiger soccer programs.

"The facility has helped us in recruiting some of the better players in the region to our program," said head men's coach Richie Grant.

Participant facilities within the stadium structure include showers and locker rooms, a food court, corporate skybox, full media services, administrative offices and a conference room.

"Being able to play at Mike Rose enables our program to compete with anyone facility-wise," said head women's coach Brooks Monaghan. "There may be some facilities that are similar or close to Mike Rose, but I honestly don't feel there are any better. As far as quality and atmosphere, Mike Rose is first class."

Located in southeast Shelby County, just east of the Memphis city limits, the Mike Rose facility is also home of the Memphis Express of the Premier Development League, which has established itself in the Memphis soccer community and helped bring soccer excitement throughout the Mid-South.

"We feel like Mike Rose is one of the best college soccer facilities in the country," Grant said. "The quality of the surface makes for entertaining soccer every night."

Tulsa - Donna J. Hardesty Sports and Recreation Complex
Soccer Field

On February 18, 2000, The University of Tulsa broke ground on a major campus expansion. The Donna J. Hardesty Sports Complex is part of a 30-acre development to the west of Delaware Avenue and extends from 10th Street to Fourth Place and Delaware Avenue to Columbia Avenue.

The complex, named in honor of TU alumna Donna Hardesty, will be completed two phases. The soccer field opened in October, 2000, while the softball field and Michael D. Case Tennis Center were completed in fall of 2001. Other plans for the development include a student health and fitness center, which is scheduled to open during the fall of 2002, a track, soccer stadium, which is currently under construction, a multi-purpose recreational field, student apartments and additional campus parking. The estimated cost of the development is $30 million.

"This is a landmark day in the 105-year history of The University of Tulsa," said TU President Bob Lawless at the groundbreaking ceremony. "For the first time, our campus is growing to the west across Delaware Avenue, with an expansion many of us at TU have come to call our 'Field of Dreams.'

As we break ground on this major development, we extend special thanks to the two individuals whose generosity to TU has enabled us to make this monumental leap into the new century, Donna and Roger Hardesty."

The first phase of construction on the sports and recreation complex included a soccer field with terraced seating, a softball field and the Michael D. Case Tennis Center.

The second phase of construction includes a nine-lane track and area for field events, a soccer stadium, a multi-purpose field for recreational sports, a 65,000-square-foot student health and fitness center, and student apartments.

"This complex will serve a dual purpose as an athletic and recreational facility," said President Lawless. "Our student-athletes in soccer, softball, tennis, and track and field will at long last have a home on campus for practice and intercollegiate competition. Equally as important, the rest of our student body will have fields for intramural competition and a health and fitness center for pursuing wellness goals alongside academic ones."

The Donna J. Hardesty Sports and Recreation Complex is part of a 10-year TU master plan for campus development. The new complex, with its fully lighted, park-like setting, will enhance the residential environment on campus while providing state-of-the-art athletic and recreation facilities for both student-athletes and the entire TU student body.
