Solomon Indoor Track/Cabot Cage
All Northeastern teams will benefit from both the track and the turf infield. It is solely a training facility, as no varsity athletic contests are held at the Solomon Indoor Track. The two surfaces provide an excellent indoor area for running, drills, and many sport-specific training and practices.
The Solomon Indoor Track, named for Northeastern's No. 1 fan, the late Bernard "Bunny" Solomon, now has a state-of-the-art Benyon BSS 1000 track surface. It has embedded granules that create a shock-absorbing cushion. The track features a four-lane straightaway, two-lane oval and pole vault pit. On the infield of the track, a high-quality OmniGrass 41 surface was installed that will benefit all teams for practice and workouts. OmniGrass 41 has a two-inch pile-height that delivers consistency and durability.
The Cabot Center opened in 1954 and was named for beneficiary Godfrey Lowell Cabot in 1957. The building housed an indoor track & field facility that had a dirt floor, which was common at the time. Northeastern hosted countless track & field meets of all levels. The indoor track & field field facility was renovated in 1971 and a 120-yard banked track was installed and named after Bernard "Bunny" Solomon. The building continued to be a premiere track field facility, hosting many meets into the 1980s. The Solomon Indoor Track was renovated again and the 120-yard banked track was replaced by a flat rubber surface that covered the entire Cabot Cage. Now that surface has been replaced with the current multi-purpose training area.
