Nothing will get your pride roaring like being part of the crowd at a Lion sporting event. We have 12 competitive athletic teams as well as cheerleading and dance teams. Spirit runs high around here, and there's always something to cheer for. See you at the game!
Memorial Stadium
On any given game day, this is where we'll be. After a few hours of tailgating with friends, you'll make your way into Memorial Stadium, which was built in 1950 and dedicated to the memory of 78 former university students who lost their lives in World War II. The stadium serves as the home to our NCAA Division II football, cross country, and track & field teams.
Field House
You might be viewing this map as a brand new freshman or even as a hopeful high school student, but it's never too early to start envisioning your future. Welcome to the building that houses the stage you'll walk across on your graduation day!
Designed and built by George Dahl in 1950, the Field House is located east of Memorial Stadium and provides playing courts, offices, classrooms, dressing rooms and training facilities for Lion athletic teams. Resembling a large airplane hangar, the facility was renovated in 1969. This renovation included a new, modernized electronic scoreboard, a concession stand and electric bleachers. Additional classrooms and office spaces were added to the south side of the building for athletics and the Health and Human Performance Department. The playing courts were renovated in 2014 with a brand new competition floor, featuring the oversized lion head logo. Join several hundred more Lion fans in the Field House stands as we support our basketball teams.
Whitley Gymnasium
If you plan to be a Lion student-athlete, you'll definitely spend some time here; and if not, at least now you won't be walking around campus thinking, "What's in there?" Whitley Gymnasium was built in 1935, though it underwent complete renovation in 2015. Whitley Gym has been home to many athletic activities throughout the years. It currently houses the weight room, football offices, football film and meeting rooms, and a dance studio.
Cain Sports Complex
If outdoor sports are your thing, this is the place for you.
Located on the western edge of campus, the Cain Sports Complex is a multipurpose outdoor facility for Texas A&M University-Commerce and the Commerce community. It features multiple sports fields, multipurpose green space, horseshoe pits, barbecue grills and picnic tables.
The Cain Sports Complex also plays host to numerous outdoor intramural events. Traditional league sports such as flag football, soccer and softball are played throughout the year as students and Morris Recreation Center members compete for the title of Intramural Champion. Other intramural events held at the Cain Sports Complex include horseshoes, punt pass and kick, home run derby, and ultimate Frisbee. Check out the intramural schedule (linked below) to learn more about these opportunities.
Also featured at the complex is an amenity-filled commons area with eight picnic tables, two barbecue grills and horseshoe pits. This area is great for parties, organizational events, or simply a fun weekend with family or friends.
The facility was constructed with a $300,000 grant from the Effie and Wofford Cain Foundation. On February 1, 2015, the John Cain Family Softball Field first opened its gates. The stadium seating, comprised of general admission and reserved seats, holds 800 with extra standing room and a picnic berm outside of center field. The facility includes home and visitor sides with bullpens and three turf batting cages with hitting stations. The dugouts are located in-ground down each baseline and have protective netting in front of each. The turf surface prominently features the A&M-Commerce lion head in center field and a unique dark blue infield. The dimensions of the playing surface are 190 feet down the line and 220 feet at center field.
We'll see you at the ball field!
Softball Stadium
When we dreamed up the facility that would host the TAMUC softball team, we decided to swing for the fences. The newly minted John Cain Family Softball Field opened its gates for the first time February 1, 2015 for the A&M-Commerce doubleheader against St. Edwards in the softball program's first game of its inaugural season.
The stadium seating, comprised of general admission and reserved seats, holds 800 with extra room for standing, including a picnic berm in center field.
The facility includes three turf batting cages complete with hitting stations. The home and visitor sides each have bullpens, both of which are complete with restrooms. The dugouts are in-ground down each baseline with protective netting in front of each.
The surface is turf with the A&M-Commerce Lion head prominently featured in center field. The infield is unique with its dark blue color. The dimensions of the playing surface are 190 feet down the line and 220 feet at center field.
With a few seasons under our belt we know one thing for sure -- there's nothing soft about this sport! We'll save a seat for you in the stands.
Lions Soccer Field
Let's keep the ball rolling on this campus tour! Across the highway from the main campus we arrive at Lion Soccer Field, which was once the site of tennis courts and a botanical nursery before former Athletic Director Paul Peak and Soccer Coach Neil Piper had the vision to turn it into a soccer field. First, some adjustments had to be made. The land was sloped toward the south, so Coach Piper salvaged dirt from a nearby construction site to even out the surface. In 2009, lights were added to make night games possible, and in 2011 a press box was installed at the north end of the field between the player benches. A new playing surface was added in 2013. The following year, a scoreboard was installed in the southeast corner. The grass playing surface is 115 yards by 72 yards running east to west. Bleachers are located on the south end of the field, and can seat approximately 500 fans. The Lion Soccer Field is located at the intersection of Highway 178 (Culver Street) and Hubbell Drive.
