Metro State completes athletic complex

Metropolitan State University of Denver is celebrating the completion of its $23.6 million Regency Athletic Complex at MSU Denver.

The 13-acre facility includes baseball and softball diamonds, a soccer field, eight tennis courts and a multi-purpose fitness trail.

The athletic complex is home to six of the Roadrunners' 15 sports, including baseball, softball, men's and women's soccer and men's and women's tennis. The facility also includes a 23,000-square-foot locker room and athletic training area and will provide health, sports and recreation opportunities to children and families in the surrounding neighborhoods and to downtown businesses and residents.

The complex, designed by Davis Design and built by Saunders Construction, is the fourth MSU Denver-owned facility to be built as part of the university's master plan. It follows the opening of the Center for Visual Art in Denver's Art District on santa Fe, the Student Success Building and the Hotel and Hospitality Learning Center along Auraria Parkway on the Auraria Campus.

In November 2013, MSU Denver announced a $1 million naming rights agreement for the complex through 2023 with The Regency student housing community, owned by Lola and Robert Salazar.
