01
Practice & Training Center
Answering the need for expanded practice and training spaces for Vikings sports teams, this impressive facility includes an indoor track, field event training area, and one of the largest indoor turf areas in the Fox Cities, featuring an infield practice area striped for multiple sports.
02
6-Lane, 200-Meter Indoor Track
Consider the difficulty of preparing for the indoor track season on a snow-covered outdoor track in the middle of a Wisconsin winter. The Loop’s six-lane, 200-meter running track changes all that, giving our teams a competitive edge.
03
Field Event Training Areas
Imagine competing in the long jump when your first landing in a sand pit is during a competition. The Loop’s field event training area includes a long jump runway with 23-foot sand pit, a pole vault runway and landing, high jump runway and landing, and throwing area.
04
Enclosable Infield Area
The Loop’s turf-covered infield area can be completely netted off, allowing track and field athletes to safely practice while the soccer, football, lacrosse, softball, or baseball teams train on the infield.
05
Gathering Space
Despite the challenges, our Vikings athletic teams are succeeding. Imagine what these talented athletes could do with facilities that match their abilities.
