University of Wisconsin Men's Soccer

Our Home

Sitting on the shores of Lake Mendota in the Medical District at the University of Wisconsin, the Dan McClimon Memorial Track/Soccer Complex and state-of-the-art training facility located just to the west allow student-athletes to train and play on a beautiful natural grass surface.

The field maintenance staff who oversees University Ridge Golf Course, as well as the training facility at U-Bay and McClimon Complex, follows a strict maintenance program to keep the field in pristine condition. The surfaces of both the training facility are cut at a length of 3/4 inch to promote excellent quality of play for all soccer players. Prior to the start of the 2013 season, significant upgrades at both the training facility (installation of irrigation system) and new natural grass turf at McClimon were completed.
