Jeffery Simmons Turf Field

The Jeffery Simmons Turf Field is located at the Starkville Sportsplex. Completed in May 2022, the $1.1 million playing field is used for football, soccer, community events, and a number of sports tourism events. In July 2022, NFL Pro Bowler Jeffery Simmons entered into a $75,000 sponsorship agreement with Starkville Parks & Recreation. Not only will this agreement feature the name and logo of the local professional athlete and philanthropist, but it also lists the Starkville Sportsplex as the home of the Jeffery Simmons Football Camp until 2032.
