Officially dedicated on Aug. 19, 2018, Neal Patterson Stadium is a showcase for Cowgirl Soccer and one of the top soccer facilities in the collegiate ranks, boasting a permanent capacity of 2,500. The stadium was named after its major benefactor and Oklahoma State alumnus, the late Neal Patterson, and costed over $20 million to construct. [6] Team facilities include locker rooms, meeting areas, kitchen facilities, sports medicine areas and equipment rooms. Other unique aspects of Patterson Stadium include a large roof that covers much of the seating areas, home and visitor bench areas with chairback seating built into the stadium, and a 26 feet by 40 feet high-definition video scoreboard in the southeast corner of the facility.
