The home of Marian University football, men's soccer, women's soccer and women's lacrosse is St.Vincent Field. The crown jewel of the Marian University Athletic Complex, St.Vincent Field was completed on July 1, 2009.
Phase one of the multi-purpose facility was completed in the fall of 2008 in time for soccer season. An eight-lane latex track, utilized by all sports for conditioning and track practice, encloses the artificial surface that is used by the football and soccer programs. It housed the 2008 Mid-Central College Conference champion women's soccer team, was the home pitch for the men's soccer team, and served as the practice facility for the Knights football program.
The artificial surface, a synthetic turf manufactured and installed by ProGrass, was completed as part of phase one. Along with the turf and track, a state-of-the-art scoreboard with multi-purpose function and wireless control was also installed during the fall of 2008.
Phase two was completed on August 1, 2009, and consisted of the installation of spectator stands, a state-of-the-art press box and luxury suite, concession stand, and storage area. The visiting stands seat 500 comfortably while the home side seats 2,500.
