I'll give you the ones I've seen and liked.
Emporia State is playing lights out this year, and they have a very nice facility. My son's team was there early in the year, so the field conditions weren't the best (and the wind was blowing 30 mph) but was a nice set up.
Central Missouri State or it might have changed its name, has very nice facilities and an excellent post season record in the past decade.
Wayne State (Nebraska) and Winona State (MN) have also been in the postseason recently. Haven't been to these places yet.
SIU-E complex is very nice, but they are in the process of moving to DI, I think this was last official DII year.
Southern Indiana has a nice field, but not much else in facilities right there.
Take it for what it is worth. Just my opinions.

Thank you, do you know if any of these complexes are comparable to D1 schools?
Wayne State-Nebraska finished ranked 24th or 25th nationally. Was as high as 14th. Good coaching staff and nice facilities which can be viewed on college web site. Will know more about program soon. Son enroling there next week.
Also NW MO State in Marysville is good. I believe they made it to the playoff last year. CMSU in Warrensburg is always in the mix.
St. Joesph in Indiana always fields a strong team and has a nice facility.
Central Oklahoma,in Edmond(right outside of OKC) has been doing good the last few years
they seem to go hard after juco players though

Drury in Springfield and Ouachita Baptist in Arkansas. Both are also great academically. Ouachita made it to the finals of the DII world series this year. Facilities are nice with an indoor facility as well - not sure its up to par with DI, but nice.
Falconbb33 Ouachita is a real good school. It was on my sons short list but then the coach and recruting cordinator moved on. I have a Disc the school sent me if your interested. PM with your address if you want it sent to you. It's from the guidance dept. so it has info on accademics mostly.
