OTHER ATHLETIC FACILITIES
Bulldog Stadium
Concordia's track, field and stadium complex was dedicated in 1997 and stands as one of the finest within the Bulldogs' athletic conference, the GPAC, and within the entire NAIA. It is home to Concordia track and field, football and soccer programs.
With the addition of the Walz Human Performance Complex the stadium's north entrances will be revised and a dramatic architectural feature, the Walz radius, will be a feature behind the north end zone.
P.E. Building, the "Old Gym"
The Physical Education Building, dedicated in 1960, has been home to Concordia athletics for decades and will live on as it is incorporated in the Walz Human Performance Complex currently in progress.
How will it all fit together? See the available plans to find out how the P.E. Building will become a part of the Walz.
