Why UCCS?
- UCCS is one of the fastest growing universities in the west.
- UCCS athletics currently does not have a track of its own to train
on and this stadium will fill that gap.
- UCCS also has the room to expand with large amounts of land that are
ready to be built on, the site for the stadium is already
excavated!
- In addition to competition and training, this world-class facility
will also allow UCCS grow in the fields of sports training and medical
care.

Why Colorado Springs and Why Now?
- Wounded Warriors - Colorado
Springs is
home to three military bases and one military service academy. With two
wars and service personnel coming home, we need a facility that will
give them a place to train and compete in their next step of life.
Colorado Springs has and always will have a special connection to our
armed services that cannot be rivaled anywhere in the nation. This
facility will be a testament to their sacrifice and will show our
commitment to them.
- International Athletes - Colorado
Springs has long been a destination for high altitude training. This
track will be a premier destination for Olympic, Paralympic, and
international training. It will be place where athletes from all walks
of life will be able to train side by side.
- Community - The need for a facility
that will help the disabled and handicapped has not yet been met. This
facility will accommodate all athletes from all abilities and it will be
the premier facility for disabled athletes. The facility will also serve
as a community area that will be able to host high school and collegiate
athletes. This will bring athletes from across the country to train at a
facility that will not be rivaled anywhere.
