James G. Pressly Stadium, Track and field stadium in Gainesville, United States

James G. Pressly Stadium features a 400-meter running track surrounded by 4,500 seats and multiple specialized areas for different track and field disciplines.

The stadium underwent a complete renovation in 1995, receiving new seating facilities and field improvements with an investment of 750,000 dollars.

The University of Florida track bears the name of Percy Beard, a 1932 Olympic silver medalist who coached the Gators track team for 27 years.

The stadium includes a 43,000 square foot athletic center with locker rooms, training facilities, equipment storage, and medical resources for athletes.

The facility's design required moving the pole vault and long jump pits outside the track to accommodate a regulation-size soccer field measuring 115 by 70 yards.
