ILLINOIS TRACK AND SOCCER STADIUM The original Illinois Track and Soccer Stadium was built in 1987 at a cost of $2.2 million. The first meet at the stadium was the Illinois Invitational on April 18, 1987. The stadium has played host to a number of meets, including the Big Ten Outdoor Track and Field Championships in 2008, 1997 and 1990.

Major renovations began on the Illinois Track and Field Stadium in October of 1998, with phase one of the project already being completed. At a cost of $1.2 million, JJR Architects of Chicago installed lighting for the entire stadium, built a separate throwing area for field events and adapted the grass field inside the track to facilitate soccer. A new scoreboard is the newest feature at the stadium and phase two of the renovation calls for the addition of 8,000 permanent seats, locker rooms, a press box, rest rooms and concessions.

The outdoor track is just steps away from the Bielfeldt Athletic Administration Building, where the track and field coaching offices are located.

ARMORY TRACK Competition during the indoor season takes place at the Armory Track, adjacent to Huff Hall. The Armory, built in 1914, was originally designed to house the University ROTC programs. The center of the roof is over 100 feet off the floor and encapsulates over 62,000 square feet of open space.

Though the ROTC programs are still part of Armory Building, the Armory has become better known for its indoor track & field facility. The current track is six lanes around with 11 lanes on the straightaway.

The track & field facility underwent a $1.2 million renovation after the 2003 season. On the track, the project included a new 13mm thick, Beynon Encapsulated Polyurethane 200m running surface and seating for over 1400 spectators. In the field, the project included two opposing long/triple jump and pole vault runways, and a shot/weight area that features a cement circle recessed into the floor.
