Howard Wood Field
Howard Wood Field serves as the home for Augustana’s football and track and field teams. In the past few years, Howard Wood Field has undergone several upgrades, including the installation of FieldTurf in 2003. One of the premier track and facilities in the region, Howard Wood Field hosts the Dakota Relays. Howard Wood Field is located at the corner of Elmwood Avenue and Russell Street. This will be the last season the Vikings will compete at Howard Wood Field. In 2009, they will move into their new on-campus facilities, Kirkeby-Over Stadium and the Larson Track and Field Complex.
Larson Track & Field Complex / Soccer Complex
 $2 million has been designated for the construction of a new soccer field and track complex on the east side of Grange Avenue across from the Elmen Center. Trees lining the east side of Grange Avenue were removed the existing hill reduced. The soccer field will be located along the southern border of the property north of 37th Street. The goal is to have the soccer field ready when the Vikings report for fall practice. Regular season games will be played at the new site beginning in September, 2009.
The new on-campus track, named the Larson Track and Field Complex, will be laid out directly north of the soccer field. The area will be reshaped this summer with construction to begin in spring, 2009.
