The Loftus Sports Center is entering its 28th full year of service for the University of Notre Dame athletic program in 2014-15. One of the most integral athletic buildings on campus, the Loftus Center serves as an indoor practice facility for several Irish varsity sports (football, track and field, rowing, women’s soccer, men’s soccer, women’s lacrosse, men’s lacrosse, baseball and softball) and hosts competition for both the track and field and lacrosse teams.

Dedicated on April 23, 1988, the Loftus Center saw its first football team practice on September 30th of that season. Designed for use by all Notre Dame athletic teams as well as students, faculty and staff, the $6.3 million center measures 614 feet by 210 feet and stands tucked in a forested area of campus just north of what used to be Cartier Field and Moose Krause Stadium.

The Loftus Center also shares the Haggar Fitness Center with the Guglielmino Athletics Complex, completed in the summer of 2005. The Haggar Fitness Center ranks as one of the most comprehensive free-weight and exercise machine facilities in the nation. It features a three-lane track for speed workouts, a 40-yard FieldTurf field for team workouts and over 30 free weight areas and 40 exercise machines.

The Loftus Center also features Meyo Field, a 100-yard FieldTurf field with end zones surrounded by a six-lane track one fifth of a mile long – making it as large as any indoor track in the nation.
