Dave McClain Athletic Facility
The Dave McClain Athletic Facility, opened in 1988, is a symbol of the Athletic
Department's commitment to maintaining a first-class sports program.
The 166,264-square foot facility compares favorably with the best indoor training
centers in the nation. Named in honor of the late Wisconsin football coach Dave
McClain, the structure provides a suitable environment for practice during inclement
weather. McClain, the Badgers' coach from 1978-85, led the UW to bowl games in
1981, 1982 and 1984. He died of a heart attack in the spring of 1986.
Main & Lower Level
A 76,380-square foot main floor features an artificial surface field (90 yards)
with a ceiling high enough for kicking. The lower level includes locker rooms,
training facilities (including on-site X-ray machines) and a spacious weight
room.
Second Level
On the second level, a theater-style auditorium (seating for 150), classrooms
for individual position meetings and a players' lounge are some of the highlights.
The entire facility cost $9.5 million to build.
