Built with seating for 1,000 spectators, Walter S. Reuling Stadium features a distinctive design highlighted by large concrete walls behind each goal and an elevated central seating area overlooking the field. Team benches are integrated directly into the main structure, creating a unique atmosphere for players and fans alike.
As a soccer-specific venue, the stadium provides an elite environment dedicated solely to the sport. With football housed in its own facility, Walter S. Reuling Stadium remains one of the few collegiate venues where soccer is the exclusive focus.
The stadium has been home to numerous NAIA All-Americans, conference champions, national championship teams, and professional soccer players throughout its history.
In 2022, the playing surface was officially named Ray Wells Field in honor of legendary former men's soccer coach Ray Wells. Wells founded the Lindsey Wilson men's soccer program in 1990 and built it into a national powerhouse. During his remarkable career, he earned eight NAIA National Coach of the Year honors and four NSCAA-NAIA National Coach of the Year awards while leading the Blue Raiders to nine national championships. His teams posted a perfect 9-0 record in national title matches, cementing his legacy as one of the most successful coaches in collegiate soccer history.
Walter S. Reuling Stadium is also known for its vibrant gameday atmosphere. Lindsey Wilson students regularly create unique fan experiences throughout the season, including popular traditions such as Couch Night, where couches line the sideline to bring students closer to the action, and Blanket Night, a fall favorite that encourages fans to gather and support the Blue Raiders during cooler evenings.
Combining championship tradition, a dedicated soccer environment, and an energetic fan base, Walter S. Reuling Stadium continues to be one of the premier home venues in collegiate soccer.
