Krenzler Field, the home of Viking soccer for two decades, recently underwent a $2.9 million renovation that has transformed it from just a soccer field to a year-round multi-use sports complex.
Krenzler Field will also be home to the men's lacrosse team which will begin competition in the spring of 2017.
The renovations consisted of two major improvements, each of which has dramatically improved the athletic physical plant for all CSU sports. The natural grass playing surface was removed in favor of a state-of-the-art FieldTurf artificial field.
The addition of a removable air-supported dome is placed over the field, creating an indoor practice facility for all sports for the winter months.
The addition of FieldTurf was made necessary when the women's soccer was added at CSU, increasing the usage of the field to the point where it would be impossible to maintain the natural grass surface.
