Krenzler Field

Located in the heart of Downtown Cleveland, Krenzler Field at Cleveland State University will be the official home field for Saint Ignatius Soccer in 2024 due to the renovations at Saint Ignatius High School. Wasmer Field will not be available to host sporting events until fall 2025. 

In the Spring of 2024, Krenzler Field became the unofficial home for Wildcat Lacrosse, hosting the OHSAA Regional Tournament. 

The surface on Krenzler Field is Field Turf, a revolutionary playing surface that combines the properties of natural grass with the durability of artificial turf; it has been installed on almost 1,000 playing surfaces in 20 countries worldwide. It is used in over half of the National Football League stadiums and by nearly 50 NCAA Division I institutions. It has been approved for play by FIFA, the world governing body for soccer, with some of the top professional teams around the world currently practicing and playing on it.

In the winter months, a removable air-supported dome is placed over the field, creating an indoor facility for all sports. The removable dome, a product of Yeadon Domes, covers the entire length of Krenzler Field, approximately 94,000 square feet, with a 60-foot ceiling. It is made of heavy-duty vinyl-coated flame-resistant polyester architectural fabric.

Built at an original cost of $1.9 million, Krenzler Field became the first university outdoor athletic venue when it was dedicated on October 18, 1985.
