Morris Williams Track & Field Stadium
Opened in 2015, Morris Williams Track & Field Stadium is located on the west side of Kennedy Tower, sharing the press box with Koskinen Stadium and proudly serving as the home of Duke Track & Field. The stadium boasts a cutting-edge BSS 1000 surface by Beynon Sports, offering athletes a top-tier experience. Spectators can enjoy events from a walkway encircling the track or from bleachers strategically placed near the finish line for optimal viewing.
The facility is equipped with two long/triple jump runways featuring sand pits, two pole vault runways inside the back straight, and two more located in the D-area to adapt to wind conditions. The infield accommodates dual high jump pits, two shot put areas, a javelin runway, and a combined hammer and discus cage, all enhanced with protective nets to ensure safety.
With seating for 500 at the finish line and additional areas around the oval for temporary seating and team tents, the stadium offers a comfortable environment for spectators.
