The College will hold a groundbreaking ceremony to mark the beginning of the first phase of its Athletic Complex expansion on May 1 at 4 p.m.
This milestone represents a new era for Holy Cross athletics and student experience, as the College invests in modern, competitive facilities to serve current, future Saints and the community’s athletic programs.
The enhancements—scheduled to debut in Fall 2025—will focus on the soccer stadium and include:
-
The first-ever stadium lighting system to allow for night game experiences for the athletic program and neighboring community programs
-
A new electronic scoreboard with integrated speaker system to allow fans to get the latest game information
-
A new chain link fence enclosing the field
“This initial phase includes several exciting upgrades to the soccer field that will significantly enhance the student-athlete experience, allow for added intramural opportunities, and improve the game-day atmosphere. These additions reflect our commitment to creating vibrant spaces where students, families, alumni, and friends can gather, cheer, and celebrate together,” said Robert Pastoor, Associate Vice President for Student Engagement and Director of Athletics.
These improvements will significantly elevate the student-athlete experience and create a more dynamic game-day experience for the entire Holy Cross community. They are made possible by generous benefactors, including the First Source Foundation.
