Facilities

MUSTANG SOCCER LOCKER ROOM

SCHWAN REGIONAL EVENT CENTER

Home to Southwest Minnesota State football and women’s soccer, Mattke Field at the Schwan Regional Event Center, has emerged as the premiere outdoor event facility in southwestern Minnesota. It has served as the home for SMSU football and women’s soccer since 2008. The Regional Event Center is a bowl-shaped venue that seats approximately 2,500 people on a mixture of chairback, bench and terraced seating.

MARSHALL REGIONAL TRACK & FIELD COMPLEX

The official groundbreaking for the Marshall Regional Track & Field complex was on April 14, 2014. The complex is located on the northeast corner of the SMSU campus and is a renovation and expansion of the existing Mattke Field stadium. The project is a partnership with SMSU and Marshall Schools. The Track & Field Complex also acts as a practice facility for women’s soccer.

SMSU WEIGHT ROOM

The Southwest Minnesota State weight room, renovated with new equipment in 2018, gives Mustang student-athletes some of the best facilities in the region. The 4,059 square foot facility, which was built in 1996, added more space which greatly enhanced the amount of work stations available, allowing more intense lifting periods.

DON PALM NATATORIUM

Don Palm Natatorium is located in the Physical Education building and is accessed through the men’s and women’s locker rooms. The competition pool is 25 yds x 6 lanes. The diving well has a 1 meter diving board (installed 2008) and 3 meter diving board (installed 2019).

The facility went through a complete renovation in the summer of 2022 making it one of the best on-campus facilities in the upper Midwest.

Don Palm Natatorium is home to our SMSU women’s swimming and diving team.
