Drake is pleased to announce that on March 10, The Des Moines School Board approved bids to build the DMPS Community Stadium at Drake University. The new stadium, located on land donated by Drake to DMPS east of the Knapp Center, will serve DMPS high school football and soccer programs and be the new on-campus home field for the Drake men’s and women’s soccer teams. Construction on the stadium will begin this spring with projected completion in the fall of 2023. More information on a celebratory groundbreaking ceremony will be shared in the near future.​
