The Brand New NKU Norse Stadium
The Motz Group recently finished installing NKU's new synthetic turf field at their new Soccer Stadium.

• NKU constructed a $6.5 million soccer stadium adjacent to The Bank of Kentucky Center, ending a 10-year period of Norse soccer playing off-campus in Wilder, Ky.
• Seating for 1,000 spectators 
• Artificial playing surface that will contain a fully lighted, World Cup style 120-yard by 80-yard competition field. 
• Other amenities include concessions and restroom facilities, coaches’ offices, four team locker rooms plus officials’ dressing rooms, full athletic training facilities, a press box and media work area to facilitate radio and television broadcasts, laundry and equipment storage. The stadium will also include the "Founders' Suite," a 1,000 square foot luxury box that includes a walk-out deck which overlooks the field and will provide exceptional amenities for spectators to the game as well as meeting space on non-game days.

The new NKU soccer stadium will provide a championship-caliber soccer stadium that will permit Northern Kentucky University to host sporting events, including NCAA championship tournaments, and Kentucky High School Athletic Association district, regional, and state championships. This will attract visitors who will benefit the area financially, bring prospective students to the campus, and give NKU the opportunity to recruit top-notch student-athletes in soccer to compete at the highest level in NCAA Division II.


Additionally, the school will benefit from having lighted facilities with adequate seating and crowd control that permits Northern Kentucky University to increase the number of games held at convenient times for spectators.


The NKU Soccer Complex was formally dedicated Sunday September 19, 2010.
