SOCCER AND LACROSSE COMPLEX

THE DREAM OF A MODERN soccer and lacrosse facility at Linfield University has become reality at last.

Linfield director of athletics Garry Killgore spearheaded plans for a $1.55 million project to revamp the current soccer and lacrosse facility. Completion of the project’s first phase was completed in late December. Phase 2 will get underway once funding is secured.

“This project is absolutely critical, not only for the success of our student-athletes in men’s and women’s soccer and women’s lacrosse, but it’s equally as important for students who participate in intramurals as well as members of the community,” said Killgore. “Having a second turf field really opens up so much flexibility in scheduling for all our athletic teams.”

The vision for substantially upgrading the Linfield Soccer and Lacrosse Complex has been discussed for many years. With the help of private funding from a cross-section of donors, the project is proceding in two phases.

In Phase 1 of the project, the natural grass

field was converted to FieldTurfTM, providing Linfield teams an ideal year-round practice and playing surface while substantially reducing maintenance and game setup costs. The field will be draped with branded mesh screening, providing for a more intimate and enclosed setting. Six enclosed storage spaces to house team equipment and supplies are included in Phase 1.

Phase 2 calls for a new seating for 250 spectators as well as an adjoining paved plaza. It includes construction of a new pressbox on the west side of the field. Phase 2 could begin as early as 2021.

Dressing rooms for the women’s lacrosse and men’s and women’s soccer and teams are included as part of a multi-purpose structure planned for the stadium’s northwest corner.

The new building will also contain a dressing room for visiting teams and game officials, permanent restrooms and a concession stand.

Under the leadership of Linfield alumnus Rob Gloeckner of Tarkett Sports, the grass

field was converted to a FieldTurfTM surface.

The custom-branded storage containers are being furnished by Boxwell co-founder Rod Bolls, a former Wildcats soccer player.

The upgraded soccer/lacrosse facility serves a variety of uses. In addition to hosting Linfield soccer and lacrosse practices and matches, the new facility provides recreational space for all Linfield students and will serve as a centerpiece for the summertime Olympic Development Program as well as community events.

“The whole soccer/lacrosse fundraising campaign really exemplifies what we mean by ‘All In,’” said Killgore. “People who are not necessarily affiliated with soccer or lacrosse stepped up as important contributors to this project. Each of them understood how important this project is and how much it will benefit all Linfield students.”

Contributions continue to be sought to complete funding of Phase 1. Once that goal is met, donations for the project’s second phase will begin to be accepted.
