Sofia Barassi - Co-Editor-in-Chief

Attending SNHU athletic events allows students to watch their classmates perform their sports and engage with each other outside the classroom.

When turning onto Victory Lane in Hooksett, NH, Penmen Stadium might catch the eye on the drive into campus. The recently built stadium is a great spot for SNHU fans to gather and watch their soccer, lacrosse and track and field community compete for the NE10. The tennis teams also find their home at Penmen Stadium where spectators can watch the team’s matches in both the fall and spring.

Penmen Stadium can hold 1,500 spectators as well as providing an engaging experience with the lighting and sound systems that were built in according to Shane Carley, a writer for SNHU’s site on the official opening of Penmen Stadium,

Another hot spot for sporting events is the Stan Spirou Field House located at 2500 North River Rd. on the Manchester side of campus. Here, people can find the men’s and women’s basketball teams as well as the women’s volleyball teams during the fall and winter. These seasons attract large crowds. According to SNHU Athletics, The gymnasium holds 2,000 people and gives the community and players an atmosphere that is most engaging.

“I love playing volleyball at SNHU and love to have as many people in the stans as we can. Fans watching makes the game much more fun and the cheering helps us gain momentum in the game,” said women’s volleyball player Ainsley Knox (‘23).

The field house also hosts the campus gym, workout rooms, studios, and swimming pools which are all available to SNHU members.

Whether new to SNHU or returning after a long hiatus from campus, attending events is another activity to do with the community. SNHU students are allowed to attend events and show their school spirit this semester. Visit Penmen Athletics for all the game schedules and sporting events information.
