Swisher Field

General Information: Named after legendary former NSU football coach and athletic director, the Clark Swisher Athletic Complex includes a 6,000-seat football facility, an eight-lane all-weather surface outdoor track with exceptional field event areas, new locker room and training room facilities and a tailgate area just south of the football field.

Swisher Field itself features a synthetic field turf surface, making it ideal for a high-use facility. Fans of all ages are able to enjoy games at Swisher Field with the inclusion of a large concession area, full tailgate facility, and Kids Zone play area. The field is also used by both Aberdeen Central and Roncalli High School, as well as NAIA Presentation College. In recent years the facility has been used to host Northern State and Presentation College softball games due to wet field conditions in the area.

Renovations: The NSU Kids Zone was adopted in the fall of 2012 and has been a hit every fall since, with activities such as inflatables and even a pick-up touch football game. The Kids Zone is sponsored by RDO Equipment and run by the HPER department in the NSU School of Education.

In the summer of 2018, the field turf was replaced and a new video and scoreboard was installed.
