Cutchin Field

Cutchin Field History & Notes
* Once the home facility for Murray State football, Cutchin Field has been the home of Murray State soccer since the program started in 2000.
* Cutchin Field is located beside the Curris Center and across the street from Racer Arena.
* The facility features a 72-by-114 yard Bermuda playing field, a state-of-the-art scoreboard, and a sprinkler system to keep the field perfect at all times.
* Team shelters like those seen at the professional and world championship level are in place at both benches and the scorer's table.
* In 2008, the Racers moved into the brand new Crisp Soccer-Tennis Complex. The new facility adjacent to Cutchin Field features locker rooms, coaches office, and athletic training space.
* One of the charming features of Cutchin Field is that it is located in the middle of campus and is very accessible to students who attend matches in large numbers.
* Cutchin Field was the home of Murray State football from 1924 to 1972. The Thoroughbreds - later to be called the Racers - won 142 football games here including the inaugural OVC championship in 1948.
* The field is named for multi-sport coach Carlisle Cutchin, who was Murray State's second football coach (1925-30), and the first men's basketball coach (1925-41), and he also coached baseball at MSU (1928-32, 1941, 1946-53).
