Nutter Field House

The University of Kentucky Athletics Department is at the forefront of college athletics in terms of indoor facilities. As proof, UK boasts the Nutter Field House, an $8.5 million climate-controlled structure that is used for indoor track and field and winter conditioning.

The facility features an artificial turf football playing field of 108,000 square feet, surrounded by a six-lane, 290-meter track. One of the most unique features of this 132,00-square foot, multi-million dollar showplace is the electronic netting system. The system allows for different combinations of sports to practice safely and simultaneously by dividing the playing field into multiple practice areas.

In 1996, 2001, 2004, 2007, 2009, 2012 and 2015 the facility was the site of the SEC Indoor Track and Field Championships. It also hosts the annual Jim Green Invitational as well as the nationally-renowned Rod McCravy Memorial Indoor Track & Field Meets.
