• Field Complex

  

  The ETSU Campus Recreation Field Complex is utilized for Intramural and Club Sports Programming. The Field Complex is the main host site for sports like Intramural Flag Football, Softball, and Soccer. Both fields at the Field Complex are multi-use meaning they have bases for Softball but outfields large enough to include a Soccer field. Field 1 at the complex is a fully turf field with Field 2 being primarily grass with turf bases.
  The Field Complex is closed when not being utilized for Intramural or Club Sports Programming. The Field Complex is available for reservations and more details can be accessed by selecting the “Facility Reservations” page on the Campus Recreation website.
