Drake Stadium Facilities
Drake Stadium featuring the Jim Duncan Track
The recently renovated Drake Stadium not only serves as the home of the Bulldog football team, but also the Drake Relays, known as "America's Athletic Classic" – one of the most popular track and field venues in the world. The stadium is the focal point of the Drake campus each April when it hosts the prestigious Drake Relays – the premier sporting event in Iowa which attracts world-class athletes including many Olympic gold medalists.
Drake Stadium hosted the 2007 NCAA Midwest Regional Track and Field Championships, the 2008 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships and the 2010 USATF National Championships. Drake will also host the 2011 and 2012 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships.
Following the 2005 Iowa State High School Track and Field meet, Drake embarked on the most significant renovation project of Drake Stadium since the stadium was dedicated in the fall of 1925. The track was reconfigured and the new Mondo-surfaced track had lanes widened from 42 inches to 48 inches.
The first three rows of seats were removed to create a required NCAA and USATF buffer zone between the runners and the crowd. New throwing venues for the javelin, discus, and hammer throw were developed on a field directly north of the stadium. Musco Lighting also was installed along with a new scoreboard on the northeast corner of the stadium.
The track was renamed the Jim Duncan Track in 1988, honoring Jim Duncan, the former public address voice of the Drake Relays. Drake Stadium was built in 1925 with a seating capacity of 18,000 in a building project that also furnished the 4,000-seat Drake Field House. Drake Stadium opened Oct. 10, 1925. The original name of Haskins Field was changed to Drake Stadium at the request of Norman Haskins, the donor of the original stadium. The natural amphitheater aspect of the Drake Stadium remains. 7 Hosted by Drake University Des Moines, Iowa
