The facility features a multipurpose gymnasium with a 1,832-seat arena and three basketball/volleyball courts, a 1/9-mile indoor tartan-rubber track, five racquetball/handball courts, and a fitness center. In 2010, a renovation project was completed on the locker rooms for the basketball and volleyball programs. The fitness center includes state-of-the-art Life Fitness Bikes, treadmills, elliptical EFX Cross Trainers, Stairmasters, Concept II rowing machines, and Airodyne bikes. Another facility highlight is the strength and conditioning room, which features a Nautilus and Cybex training equipment along with free- weights. An attached wooden floor with mirrored walls is the meeting location for a wide variety of aerobics and dance classes. The IPFW weight room received a major facelift during the summer of 2012, with the addition of a high-quality rubber-based floor system, including six weight stations adorned with the IPFW logo. Another major addition came in the way of six weight stations that include areas for nearly every free weight exercise. The IPFW Fieldhouse is a multipurpose sport and fitness facility located on the Northeast side of campus. It is a 90,000 square foot building attached to the Gates Sports Center complex. The Fieldhouse has a six lane, 200 meter, oval track with a Mondo Super X surface, the same surface on the track at the Beijing Olympics. In the middle of the track are 3 dividable volleyball/basketball courts. As well as, retractable bleacher seating for 532 and 150 on tip and roll bleacher seating, and a Lynx Timing System with a scoreboard. The IPFW Fieldhouse hosts many events including Summit League Championships for track as well 4 as many local high school track championships.

The dimensions of Mastodon Field are 335 FT down the lines, 380 FT in the power alleys and 405 to dead center.

Recent upgrades to the facility include graphically designed windscreens, hitting cages and grandstand seating for fans directly behind home plate.
