Dail Soccer Field/Track Complex at NCSU

A new era of NC State men's and women's soccer began in 2008, with the opening of the Dail Soccer Field located in the heart of campus. For the first time in school history, the Wolfpack soccer teams are able to play night games, as the soccer stadium is located inside NC State's track under stadium lights. One of the top features is the new scoreboard, equipped with full-Matrix capabilities. In 2009, the men's soccer team hosted an NCAA second round game at the Dail Soccer Field.

During the summer of 2011, Dail Soccer Field received even more updates. Seat-back chairs and bleachers have significantly upgraded the seating comfort for NC State fans, which includes bleachers behind both goals. A new brick look also encompasses a majority of the upgrades that have been made to the stadium, while a press box, new fan entrance and a brand-new stand alone building in the southeast corner of the stadium provides both the Pack and its competitors meeting and locker room space and showers.

Paul H. Derr Track
Paul Derr Track is located in the heart of NC State’s main campus.

As part of on-going facility enhancements across campus, the longstanding home of Wolfpack track was fitted in the offseason with new chairback seats, a new press box, a new operations/storage building, enhanced concourses, new bathrooms and an elegant brick facade in 2012. It is also part of the Dail Soccer Stadium, home of NC State’s men’s and women’s soccer teams. The new improvements come on the heels of a $5 million upgrade in 2008 that included a state-of-the-art rubberized running surface.

The original Paul Derr Track Facility has served the Raleigh community, the athletics department and the university since the school built its first cinder track on the current site in 1938. The complex was named in honor of the late Derr, a longtime NC State track coach and head of the physical education department.
