Hearnes Center Fieldhouse - Track & Field

The Hearnes Center Fieldhouse is Mizzou's indoor track and field facility. The Fieldhouse contains a Martin encapsulated surface, 200-meter track with an eight-lane sprint straightaway and multiple runways for the pole vault and horizontal jumps. The fieldhouse opened in 1972 and was host to the Big Eight Indoor Championships in 1991. It is named for Missouri's 46th governor and 1952 MU graduate, Warren E. Hearnes.

The Tigers typically host three to four meets per season in the fieldhouse, including the Missouri All-Comers meet that draws athletes from all ages from around the area. The Missouri Invitational draws top-flight competition from across the Midwest.

The Hearnes Fieldhouse is also the destination for many conventions, trade shows, concerts, and sporting festivals, such as the Show-Me State Games.
