Located next to the scenic campus lake, Lakeside Soccer Field is one of two athletic fields that sit on the east and west side of this campus feature. The field has been the home pitch for the EIU men's and women's soccer teams for more than 30 years. The field contains ample spectator seating in field side bleachers while fans can also bring their own blankets and chairs to watch home matches.
The men's soccer team currently plays as a member of the Missouri Valley Conference while the women's team is a member of the Ohio Valley Conference.
Recent additions to the facility include new blue wind screens to help give the field a more inclosed feel and a new press box.
