Built in 1982, the IU Michael A. Carroll Track & Soccer Stadium cost $7 million to construct. In 2012, Carroll Stadium completed installation of a new FieldTurf Revolution soccer field. The field is 110 yds x 75 yds, and can accommodate all levels of soccer. The stadium currently seats 12,111 patrons.
Accommodations may be made to create a more soccer specific environment. Modular hospitality suites, similar to those placed on greens at PGA tournaments, are planned for the north side of the field and new bleacher stands will be added immediately behind both goals to bring the fans closer to the action. The changes will reduce the total seating capacity to approximately 7,500, while improving intimacy by adding the new seating adjacent to the north, east and west sides of the field. The press box can accommodate 72 working media members, including wireless access throughout.
Carroll Stadium hosted both the 2006 and 2007 USA Track and Field Championships, while having also hosted the 1988 Olympic Team Trials - Track and Field, IHSAA Lacrosse State Championships, the Horizon League Championships, the 2001 World Police and Fire Games, NCAA soccer & track competitions and other marquee events.
