Facilities & Directions

The Mollenkopf Athletic Center, built in 1990 at a cost of $10.3 million, has a full indoor practice football field plus spacious sidelines - totaling 92,400 square feet - and reaches 86 feet high at the peak. It was named for Hall of Fame head coach Jack Mollenkopf (1956-69), who led Purdue to the 1967 Rose Bowl.

The original AstroTurf was replaced with FieldTurf in 2006 and again in 2017. The field was named for Richard, Alice and Kimra Schleicher, who made the lead gift for its refurbishment in 2006.

New All-American and bowl banners were put up in 2019.

The two-story weight training room covers nearly 14,000 square feet.

The completion of the the third floor and the mezzanine in 1994 was made possible by Howard R. "Monk" Kissell, class of 1931, who provided the majority of the $1 million cost.
