The proposed Multi-Sport Stadium, looking toward Plourde Recreation Center.

With more than $21 million raised toward the $30 million goal for the Centennial Campaign, the College announced plans to construct a $3.2 million multi-sport stadium, which opened in September 2005. The stadium is the key capital project of the second phase of the Campaign, for which plans include: endowment support for scholarships and financial aid grants; the Annual Fund; and capital projects.

The stadium was constructed on the previous site of Assumption’s football/lacrosse field. The new facility support six athletic teams (football, men’s and women’s lacrosse, men’s and women’s soccer and field hockey) and an outdoor intramural sports program on an infilled, synthetic turf field. It includes lights, elevated grandstand seating for approximately 1,200 spectators, a press box and president’s box. The stadium also includes a dedicated practice area to the north of the competition field.

The stadium was dedicated on Saturday, October 1, 2005, prior to the start of the 1 p.m. football game vs. Southern Connecticut State.
