The Cowgirl Soccer Complex, also known as the Cowgirl Corral,
was brought about through a series of stages along with the
conception of the women's soccer program in 1996.
The Corral came into existence in 1996-97 when a sand-based
playing field was created. The Cowgirls play on one of the best
playing surfaces in the country. The pitch is a Bermuda Hybrid
Tifway 419 grass that is often used on the premiere golf courses
throughout the nation. The field is also designed to have an
outstanding drainage system, ensuring that the Cowgirls can play
shortly after even torrential downpours.
The field measures 115 X 75 yards and is well lit to
accommodate night games throughout the season. In 2001, the
additions of 1,000-seat bleachers to the east side of the field
were put in place to accommodate the growing crowds at the
Corral. The addition of these bleachers and the growing tradition
of Cowgirl Soccer have helped OSU obtain a number four ranking in
the Big 12 in average season attendance.
Oklahoma State's soccer program has been giving
fans reason to be excited since its inception in 1996 but now the
program is giving current and prospective student-athletes a new
reason to be enthusiastic about the future.
A new multi-million dollar complex is in the
works at Oklahoma State and it promises to improve the gameday
experience for Cowgirl Soccer players, fans, and coaches.
