Concordia University, St. Paul is the only NCAA Division II institution in the Twin Cities area and the only private DII athletic program in the state of Minnesota. The athletic teams have produced great results in recent years. Upon making this move to Division II in 1999, the athletic department has also seen an increase in the number of student-athletes. Now well into a second decade of NCAA Division II competition, an on-campus athletic stadium and outdoor track has had significant and far-reaching impact as the Golden Bears have strived to continually reach the next level, athletically and academically.

The location of the stadium provides great exposure for the campus from Interstate 94.

During the winter months, the field surface is covered with an inflatable bubble or "mini-dome." This provides an advantage not only for the Golden Bear athletic teams but also the surrounding community, with the facility being capable of remaining open year-round.
