The Great Friends of University of New Mexico Track Stadium is a multifunction, 5,000-seat facility that was completed for use in 1985. The complex was renovated in the summer of 1996 to include a soccer field. The track is constructed of an all-weather, encapsulated surface called Versaturf, which is the same surface used for the 1992 Olympic Trials in New Orleans, Louisiana.

This season the stadium will be the site of the 2003 Mountain West Conference Outdoor Championships. New Mexico also hosted the 1996 Western Athletic Conference Outdoor Championships at Great Friends of UNM Track Stadium.

The 400-meter track is composed of eight racing lanes and includes a steeplechase water-jump. To bolster performances, sprints can be run in either direction to negate the effects of unfavorable weather. The two long jump/triple jump runways, two pole vault runways and a high jump apron are also of Versaturf construction. They are located behind the goals of the soccer field, allowing competitors to compete in an east or west direction. The improvements to the facility also include the installation of lights, giving UNM the opportunity to host night meets. With future renovations to include a resurfaced track and track and field scoreboard, the Great Friends of UNM Track Stadium will soon be among the premier venues in the West.

In a ddition the opportunity to train and compete year-round in Albuquerque, gives UNM athletes an extra advantage. With more than 300 days of sunshine a year and an elevation of 5,085 feet above sea-level, Albuquerque is a favorite training location for some of the world's best track and field athletes. The world class training environment and facilities at UNM provide an opportunity for exceptional running and field event performances.

Great Friends of UNM Track Stadium is located directly east of University Stadium near the corner of Avenida Cesar Chavez and University Blvd in Southwest Albuquerque.
