On Aug. 22, 2025, Saint Cloud State University sold the almost century old Selke Field to the Central Minnesota Youth Soccer Association for $350,000. The Field had been for sale since March 2025. Saint Cloud Interim President Dietz released a statement about the sale.
“We are thrilled a community partner like CMYSA (Central Minnesota Youth Soccer Association) could purchase a facility we are no longer using,” said Dietz. “We have confidence that this historic site can have a bright future under new ownership.”
The Central Minnesota Youth Soccer Association crowd-funded over $100,000 to make the purchase. The association’s priorities for the site include repairing the granite wall that surrounds the complex and field maintenance.
“Saint Cloud State University is a place that invests in the community, and by purchasing Selke Field, we hope to do the same,” said CMYSA President Emily Willaert.
CMYSA plans to host a Selke Field social on Sept. 21 from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. The event will include a four-on-four soccer match and various games.
