Sexauer Field’s history dates to 1910, when it was known as State Field, home to both the track and field and football programs. Most of the 12-row wooden bleachers on the north and south side were removed after the opening of Coughlin Alumni Stadium in 1962. When it served as a football field, the area was lighted, but the poles came down when the gridiron moved further east on campus. As late as the mid-1990s, Sexauer Field was still the site for college meets. Small high schools used it for regional track meets for several years after that. The asphalt track was removed in May 2017. It is currently used for intramurals.
