Missouri State University Develops Plans for New Athletic Fields

Tuesday, September 10, 2013

Missouri State University, home of the Bears, has engaged Hastings+Chivetta to design new athletic fields. The project includes the construction of a new track and soccer complex, a field hockey and lacrosse complex, a sand volleyball venue, and improvements to the existing Plaster Sports Complex.

The Plaster Sports Complex will receive a new east grandstand with 4,000 seats, a team meeting room and a visitor’s locker room, as well as new concessions and restrooms. An existing open field will become a track and soccer complex with a field encircled by an all-weather track, and a new field hockey and lacrosse complex will be constructed in the place of an underused softball field.

An additional potential component of the project is the creation of two sand volleyball courts. All four projects have a targeted completion date of fall 2014.
