Seguin, Texas
The community of Seguin was established in 1838 by members of Mathew Caldwell's Gonzales Rangers, but was not incorporated until 1853. It was originally called Walnut Springs for the nearby fresh water sources. Just six months later the name was changed to honor Colonel Juan N. Seguin, one of Sam Houston's ablest Lieutenants throughout the struggle for Texas' independence. As leader of a dedicated group of Texans of Mexican ancestry, Col. Seguin participated in the great victory at San Jacinto. Later he served as a Republic of Texas Senator and as Mayor of San Antonio.
Gustafson Field
Texas Lutheran University's Gustafson Soccer Field is named for A.G. Gustafson, a former coach, professor and interim president at Texas Lutheran. The field formerly resided on campus at the location where the current TLU Softball complex (Ed Kruse Stadium - Morck Softball Field) and track & field throws area now sits. Gustafson Field was moved to its current location on the west side of campus in 1998. The field now includes lighting for night matches, perimeter fencing, two press boxes (one for game operations and one for broadcasting), covered soccer benches, a practice area on the south side of the field, and a regulation soccer pitch with one of the best playing natural grass surfaces in the area.
