Home to the Mississippi State soccer team since 1995, the Mississippi State Soccer Field gives the Bulldogs one of the finest playing surfaces in the Southeast.
Located on the north side of the Mississippi State University campus, the MSU Soccer Field joins the Mike Sanders Track Complex, Dudy Noble Field/Polk-Dement Stadium (baseball), Nusz Park (softball) and the A.J. Pitts Tennis Centre to give MSU one of the finest Olympic sport venues in collegiate athletics.
The program debuted a 2,600 square-foot brick facility in 2008 which houses a concession stand, men’s and women’s restrooms and a spacious press box.
The press box is divided into four separate work areas, with each equipped with hi-speed internet and telephone access. It is also setup to accommodate television and team video personnel. The MSU Soccer Field also includes covered dugouts for participating teams.
Hailed as one of the top playing surfaces in the Southeastern Conference, the field stretches 114 yards long and 74 yards wide. The regulation NCAA Championship field features Mississippi Pride grass - developed by researchers on the Mississippi State campus - making it one of the top playing surfaces in the country.
Mississippi State's grass is also licensed out and used at prestigious golf courses, the Rose Bowl, the StubHub Center (LA Galaxy) Kaufman Stadium (Kansas City Royals), Chase Field (Arizona Diamondbacks) and other professional venues.
Lights were added just after the conclusion of the 2002 campaign, equipping the facility for evening competition and giving it an added amenity that can only translate into better atmospheres.
In 2018 a new Daktronics LED display that measures 18 feet high by 32 feet wide was added to the field.
This new display features a 15HD pixel layout with wide angle visibility to bring crisp, clear imagery to Bulldog fans at every game. It features industry-leading environmental protection to survive the elements while operating as expected.
The facility a 600-square-foot film room/lounge, a 500-square-foot treatment area, 300-square-foot equipment and laundry room, a 300-sqaure-foot coaches conference room/locker room and a 250-square-foot kitchen.
The facility also houses a 1,000-square-foot player locker room, shower area and bathroom that is easily accessible from the field.
The addition of the clubhouse adds to one of the best atmospheres in the South and further demonstrates the commitment of the Mississippi State Athletic Department to the soccer program at MSU.
