Our Facilities
Scotty Wood Stadium
Scotty Wood Stadium is the 3,000-seat home to Muhlenberg’s football, field hockey, men’s lacrosse, and track and field teams.
The Life Sports Center
The Life Sports Center, overlooking Scotty Wood Stadium, is the hub of Muhlenberg athletics, and houses the cardio center, weight room, training room and locker rooms, with access to Memorial Hall, Alumni Pool, and the John Deitrich Field House.
Memorial Hall
Memorial Hall, built in 1954, is the historic home to the college’s basketball, wrestling, and volleyball teams.
John Deitrich Field House
The John Deitrich Field House, located across the corridor from Memorial Hall, was constructed in 1982 and refurbished in 2004. It serves as a busy practice center for many sports, is the winter home of the track and field team, and hosts large wrestling invitationals.

Mule Spirit in Action
Across campus, you’ll find countless ways to stay active, lead, and connect through club and intramural sports and athletic-focused organizations.
Whether you’re looking to compete in ultimate frisbee or fencing, climb at a local gym with the Rock Climbing Club, swim for fitness and camraderie, or hit the slopes with the Winter Sports Club, there’s a space for you here.
Athletics at Muhlenberg also means leadership and impact. Organizations like the Muhlenberg Leadership Team (MALT) connect student-athletes with the broader community, while Head in the Game creates space for honest discussion about the mental health challenges athletes can face.
From competitive club sports to wellness-focused student organizations, the Mule spirit extends well beyond our Division III programs.
