The facility is also capable of hosting sprints in either direction and has a dual javelin approach.

The addition of the new facility has enable Troy University to host several events that range from the Coach O Invitational, to the Special Olympics, to the Alabama High School Athletic Association (AHSAA) State Championships, to the US Junior National State Championships.

The Jesse H. Colley Track/Soccer Complex, which surrounds Troy's NCAA regulation soccer field, cost approximately $1 million to build.

The facility was renovated in 2005 to feature a press box that is used for both soccer and track events. The press box is located above a grand stand that seats 500 people. The soccer pitch consists of Bermuda grass and measures 115 yards by 75 yards with World Cup style goals. Also added in 2006 were soccer offices and locker rooms, to go along with concession stands and restrooms. The soccer locker room features a team lounge, that includes a state-of-the-art video and sound system.

The newest addition to the complex came in 2014, when lights were added. The first night soccer game came on Oct. 3 2014, when Troy defeated UL Lafayette, 1-0, in front of the second largest crowd in school history.
