Indiana has played its home games at the IU Field Hockey Complex since its opening in August 2007.[6] The complex has a seating capacity of 500 and features a Polytan playing surface as well as a Nelson Water Cannon system for watering the field before play. Built adjacent to Bill Armstrong Stadium, the home of the Indiana men's and women's soccer teams, the IU Field Hockey Complex serves the Hoosiers field hockey program as a practice venue in addition to as a game venue. In August 2009, the Ireland Family Fieldhouse was added to the complex, which houses the team's locker room, a staff meeting room, and equipment storage space. Prior to the construction of the IU Field Hockey Complex, the Indiana field hockey team played its home games inside Mellencamp Pavilion from 2000 to 2006, making it one of only a few American collegiate field hockey programs to play indoors.
