The recent renovation and resurfacing of the Tigers' outdoor track and field complex, which cost nearly $600,000, has made it one of the finest in the south, and perhaps in the nation for training and competition. The facility boasts a stadium with a seating capacity of 4,500, as well as permanent restrooms and concession areas. A $100,000 state-of-the-art press box was added in 2001, which houses the Tigers' FinishLynx timing system, media and sports information work areas.

Another feature of the Rock Norman Complex is the $80,000, 30'x27' electronic scoreboard and message board. The board, which is sponsored by Coca-Cola and Bi-Lo, displays school, place and time for all 10 lanes. The board demands 56,280 watts of electricity to operate and is run by a Venus 200 computer.

The facility, which was the site of the 1999 ACC Outdoor Track and Field Championships, boasts a 10-46" lane track, the only one in the southeast, with a Martin 1000 track surface. The track also features a steeplechase waterjump to the outer border of the track, four long jump/triple jump pits with runways and four pole vault areas.

Rock Norman Track and Field Complex, which is located in Jervey Meadows adjacent to the Jervey Athletic Center, is also an excellent facility for throwers, with two discus and hammer circles with state-of-the-art protective cages and three shot circles. The outdoor facility also includes a 66'x112'' high jump apron with four takeoff locations and a 175' javelin runway.

Clemson Indoor Track & Field Complex

Clemson track and field opened its new $3.6 million dollar indoor track facility in December of 2003. The track is located adjacent to the Rock Norman Outdoor Track Complex. The new indoor facility contains a 200m Mondo track with an eight lane (44") straightaway and a six-lane oval with a 73-foot radius. In the infield, the facility features one high jump apron, two pole vault runways and two long and triple jump runways. A permanent throwing cage is located outside the track for the weight throw and shot put. The facility also includes an athletic training room, seating for 1,800 spectators, restroom and concession facilities. The mezzanine level serves as home to the Tigers' FinishLynx timing system, public address system, sports information and media work area.

The facility served as the site of the 2004 and 2007 ACC Indoor Track and Field Championships.
