Wildcat Dome

The Wildcat Dome opened in January 2025. The air-supported structure is more than 103,000 square feet with a 73-foot peak and features a 300-meter synthetic track surface (the only one in the state of Nebraska). The facility also includes pole vault, high jump, and long jump pits and two throw circles with safety cages for Wildcat track and field teams to work out and practice.

The infield of the track features a multi-functional artificial turf surface with 90 yards of turf along with perimeter protective netting and four baseball/softball hitting cages. The southwest corner of the dome showcases a practice putting green area for golf along with room for two golf simulators.

The track inside the Wildcat Dome was named after Dr. Ron Holt '89, a former track athlete at Wayne State College. His legacy gift helped complete the funding needed for the dome structure.
