History
The stadium was built in 1991, and during the summer of 2004, the track was resurfaced and enhanced. The complex underwent another further renovation in 2008, adding long jump and triple jump pits as well as an expanded throwing area.
In 2011, the stadium was heavily renovated, boasting a 2,000 seat capacity with a new 1,475-seat stand, press box, 7,500 square feet (700 m2) clubhouse, restrooms and new entrance on the west side of the facility. The original 500-seat stand was retained as a visitors' stand. The renovated stadium opened in May 2011.
The soccer field is made of natural grass and measures 347 feet (106 m) x 200 feet (61 m). The complex includes throwing areas for the hammer, discus, shot put, long jump, and triple jump pits.
