Quick Facility Highlights
The Knief Pavilion was completed in 2016 and serves baseball, soccer and lacrosse fans with a concession stand, centrally located restrooms and an emergency shelter. It also includes a team meeting room and training area that can accommodate batting cages and soccer nets. The pavilion’s name recognizes the generous bequest of 1952 graduate Lotus Knief, which she made in honor of her father, Elmer Knief, who played baseball at Wartburg and graduated in 1918.
Max Cross Country Course is a 130-acre course built on rolling hills adjacent to campus. The site hosted the 2010 NCAA Division III Cross Country Championships as well as NCAA Regionals in 2011, 2018, and 2019. Additionally, it hosts several high school invitationals.
The Salzwedel Field added new stadium seating in 2020 and lighting in 2009. The venue has hosted numerous NCAA tournament games.
