Stryker Soccer Complex

In 2014 FC Wichita and the City of Wichita Park & Recreation Department agreed to a facility partnership that made Stryker Soccer Complex become FC Wichita's home since our inaugural season in 2015.

Matches are played in the Stadium known as the “Tommy Peckham Championship Field” which had 1,800 general admission seats. Additional supporters sections were brought in, along with field side tables and an all inclusive party tent to accommodate increased attendance.

“Needs have to be prioritized based on safety and seating capacity first. There are many good ideas and plans to evolve our match day atmosphere into a festival style event, we just need to address them one at a time and build it based on feedback from the community.” – CEO Blake Shumaker

FC Wichita directors and staff were in pursuit of Stryker from the moment they were awarded membership into the NPSL. They state that without the support of the original builders, it wouldn’t be possible, so the club and city owes much of their appreciation to Kevin Mullins and Barry Downing, among others.

“We know Stryker has work to be done before it meets the vision of a full match day experience in Wichita. Our choice to pursue Styker was a simple soccer decision. Most facilities in the area are football fields which include football markings. We did look at other venues, but would obviously rather play in a soccer specific environment. The groundwork was built decades ago when a group of local businessmen were years ahead of our soccer community’s growth. Now, we have an opportunity to build upon their investment and honor the young man who inspired them.” – Shumaker

In 2017 the State of Kansas approved a star bond application from the City of Wichita which would invest over $24 million into the complex. Construction started immediately and the complex re-opened in 2019. We Built A Home 

Stryker is located at 2999 N Greenwich, just north of K96.
