Ball State announced a plan to move the soccer field to the area north of Scheumann Stadium where field hockey and track already compete. As a part of the plan, an entryway will be constructed for the fields, which will be called the Briner Sports Complex.
Ball State will hold a groundbreaking ceremony Saturday at 9:30 a.m. before the football game against Northern Illinois. The complex will cost $1.7 million to construct.
In addition to the soccer field, restrooms will be built for the three fields. Currently, there are portable toilets at the BSU Turf Field, where field hockey plays.
The complex is expected to be completed by July 31, 2011.
