Jake Christiansen Stadium

Jake Christiansen Stadium is an athletic facility on the Concordia College campus featuring a regulation-size artificial turf football field, an eight-lane track, and a soccer field side by side. The venue holds approximately 7,000 spectators and includes modern electronic timing systems for track events plus dedicated locker rooms.

The stadium was completed in 1966 and honors Jake Christiansen, who coached the Cobbers football teams for 28 years and won one national championship. This marked an important moment in the development of college athletics at the institution.

The stadium serves as the heart of athletic life on the Concordia College campus, where students and visitors regularly gather to watch football games, soccer matches, and track competitions. It shapes the rhythm of campus through sports events throughout the year.

The stadium is easily accessible from the main campus and offers ample seating on the bleachers with clear sightlines for all events. Visitors should prepare for changing weather conditions and dress accordingly, since outdoor events run year-round.

The playing surface uses FieldTurf, a specialized artificial grass blend that optimizes durability and playing quality for multiple sports. Specialized areas for pole vault, high jump, and steeplechase allow the stadium to host complex track competitions that not all facilities can accommodate.
