WESTCOTT FIELD
One of the most popular soccer venues in the country, Westcott Field, is the home turf for both the SMU men's and women's soccer teams. Both teams began competing at Westcott Field in 1994.
The grass facility was used as a training site for the Dallas venue of World Cup USA '94. Teams from Germany, Bulgaria, Sweden and Holland practiced there before their games at the Cotton Bowl.
Within more recent years, Westcott Field has climbed the charts as one of the nation's exciting soccer stadiums. In 2001, Westcott Field ranked among the highest attended facilities during the SMU men's team No. 1 reign for 14 weeks, as well as the women's team march to the Western Athletic Conference Title.
In 2004, the Mustangs added a press box to the stadium featuring attractive lettering and the Mustangs' past champions. Before the 2006 season, SMU announced a soccer enhancement project created to make Westcott Field one of the best soccer facilities in the nation. Phase 1 of that project was completed during the summer of 2006 when new turf and a state-of-the art draining system were installed on the facility.
Phase 2 will include a new and improved press box, possible meeting rooms and locker facilities, and an attractive brick facade circling the entire facility, matching the architecture of the campus in general.
