The Nebraska Soccer and Tennis Complex continues to undergo construction during the winter before its scheduled completion in April 2015. The project, which began 10 months ago, is two months away from completion.

The $20.4 million Nebraska Soccer and Tennis Complex will be located on 28 acres owned by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. The 28 acres, the former site of the State Fair campground, is adjacent to the Nebraska Innovation Campus currently under development. Sod has been laid, beams are in place, and the support building is nearing completion.

The new soccer facilities will include one outdoor, lighted, full-sized competition field with seating for approximately 2,500 spectators.  Facilities for tennis will include 12 lighted outdoor courts and six indoor courts with a combined total of 1,400 seats for spectators. Approximately 600 to 800 surface parking spaces will be constructed on the site.

A 73,900-square foot support facility is also planned to serve all three programs and will include:

• Dressing rooms, showers, and team rooms for men’s and women’s tennis
• Office, meeting and dressing rooms for tennis coaches and staff
• Game-day only dressing room, meeting room and showers for women’s soccer
• Visiting team meeting rooms, dressing rooms, and showers
• Officials’ dressing rooms and showers
• Satellite sports medicine treatment area and exam room
• Spectator restrooms and concession stands

The University of Nebraska Board of Regents approved the Nebraska Soccer and Tennis Complex on July 18, 2013. Construction began in May 2014.
