New Facilities Serve Student-Athletes and Pioneers Fans

At DU’s new Pat Bowlen Training Center—named for the Denver Broncos president and CEO and DU Board of Trustees member—student-athletes can prepare for the fierce competition that accompanies NCAA Division I play.

Dedicated in spring 2010, the 10,000-square-foot, $6.3 million strength and conditioning complex includes warm-up areas; weight-lifting, cardio and rehabilitation stations; 12 Olympic lifting stations; a 66-yard turf track for speed and agility training; and a video screening room. It is reserved for use by the student-athletes on DU’s 17 varsity teams.

The training facility was constructed simultaneously with the recently opened CIBER Field at the University of Denver Soccer Stadium. The training complex is located beneath the soccer stadium seating and is attached to the Ritchie Center for Sports & Wellness.

The new soccer stadium, which seats 1,915 fans, opened for play in August 2009.
