Plaster Sports Complex

Plaster Sports Complex is a multi-purpose stadium on the Missouri State University campus that accommodates about 16,300 spectators for football matches. The facility also includes practice fields, a large weight training room, and modern display systems for scores and game information.

The stadium was built in 1941 as part of a depression-era government project and originally held about 8,500 seats. Over the decades, it has been expanded and updated several times to meet the growing needs of university athletics.

The complex serves as a gathering place for Missouri State University students, alumni, and the Springfield community to support their college football team. These events create a shared sense of belonging that extends beyond the game itself.

Plan to arrive early when attending an event, as parking on campus fills quickly during games and main activities. The facility is well-marked and easy to navigate whether you are heading to the stadium or the practice areas.

The stadium features a grass berm on the north end that offers spectators free viewing spots with an unobstructed view of the field. This accessible option allows many people to enjoy games without purchasing reserved seating.
