Located directly adjacent to Parking Lot 1 and near the University Boulevard entrance to campus, the facility also surrounds Ludwig Field, home of Terrapin soccer.

With a capacity of 4,500 fans, the complex is named for longtime Maryland athletics director, track coach, and sprinter Jim Kehoe, who is a member of the United States Track Coaches Hall of Fame.
