Located just south of the Smith Fieldhouse, South Field boasts one of the best-maintained grass playing surfaces in the NCAA. In fact, the U.S. Men's National Soccer Team chose South Field as its practice field in preparation for the 2005 World Cup qualifier against Costa Rica. South Field is also equipped with state-of-the-art field lights, making night games a favorite among fans. In addition, the Wasatch Mountains serve as a scenic backdrop for the dedicated fans.
This popular facility went under renovations in March 2008 and Spring 2017. The South Field now features a permanent grandstand of 20 rows that accommodates 4,200 spectators in chair and bench-back seating. The grandstand is 26 feet high, 216 feet across and 65 feet deep. In 2017, the field was replaced and a concrete pad was installed under the press tent.
