The '''Jesse Colley Track/Soccer Complex''' was built in 2003.  The complex includes a full-size soccer field, an eight-lane Athletic Polymer Systems Tartan surface on the 400-meter track, four long jump/triple jump pits, men's and women's pole vault facilities and high jump pits, an inside steeplechase water jump, a triple-ring throwing area for the discus, shot put and hammer throw, and an Olympic-caliber cage around the discus and hemmer throw facilities.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.troytrojans.com/sports/2010/6/14/TrackSoccerComplex.aspx?tab=tracksoccercomplex|title=Jesse H. Colley Track/Soccer Complex}}</ref>

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

The addition of the facility has enabled Troy University to host several events that range from the Coach "O" Invitational, the [[Special Olympics]], the [[Alabama High School Athletic Association]] (AHSAA) State Championships, and 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 [[FIFA 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 improvements of 2006 follow the original construction of the facility in 2003.  Added for 2008 were Kwik-Goal Referee Shelters and Team Shelters for both teams.
