The Rhonda and Frosty Gilliam Jr. '80 Indoor Track Stadium served the track and field program as the nation's premier indoor complex from its opening on January 24, 2009 until its final event, the SEC Indoor Championships on February 25 and 26, 2022. It was located just off the southwest corner of Kyle Field between the stadium and Wellborn Road.
Gilliam Indoor Stadium was selected four times to host the NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships (2010, 2011, 2017, 2018), served as host of the SEC Championships three times (2014, 2018, 2022) and previously hosted two Big 12 Indoor meets (2009, 2012).
The six-lane, 200-meter track in the indoor facility was created with the same surfacing that was used for the track & field events at the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing, Mondo Super X Performance Material--a synthetic rubber that provides high-quality shock absorption, skid resistance, force reduction, and overall comfort for athletes. The track also had the capability to be hydraulically banked at its two bends for high-speed running events, making the facility home to one of the fastest indoor tracks in North America.
Aside from the six-lane, 200-meter hydraulically banked competition track, the facility featured eight independent sprint lanes, two long and triple jump sand pits, four pole vault runways, and two throwing rings. In addition it featured two press boxes and seating for over 4,000 spectators.
