New artificial turf field opened for play this winter

 

 

The new turf field is now open for play. Students voted in 2011 to designate student fee money to create the turf field, which will be used primarily by the intramural sports of rugby, lacrosse and flag football. The field also has markers for soccer. Construction began September 2011 and started with the removal of an existing softball field. The turf field is designed to be used in any kind of weather and it has lights so students can safely use it in the evening.
