If you wish to discuss a gift opportunity to this project, please call Connie Murphy in the Advancement Department at 610-409-3145.
T U R F | T R A C K | L I G H T S | S TA D I U MThe plans for the new surface and stadium improvements are ready for action.
The installation of a turf playing surface on Patterson Field, together with
the resurfacing of the track and needed improvements to stadium facilities
are estimated to cost $4,200,000. A $1 million lead gift has been announced
to kick off this project. Students and coaches alike are enthusiastic
about the new facilities.
It is now essential that Ursinus continues
to expand its facilities for outdoor sports
by making major improvements to
Patterson Field and the stadium that
surrounds it. This expansion will include:
Installing lighting so that
the use of these facilities can continue
well into the evening hours
“Our turf field and stadium improvement
project will be an historic part of finishing
the aesthetic transformation of campus;
providing equity in recruiting and a consistent
playing surface for our athletes to compete.”
A new grass field to be constructed on the College property to accommodate the
growing needs for practice and playing space
Student Athletes: A Success Story at UrsinusAt Ursinus today, more than 650 of the 1,700 students participate on one of our two dozen intercollegiate teams, 12 for men and 12 for women. Ursinus athletes win championships and compete in post-season play, distinguishing themselves and the College’s commitment to opportunities and excellence in the Centennial Conference. Ursinus has a long tradition of excellence in Division III sports. The Centennial Conference is widely recognized as the premier academic conference in the Mid-Atlantic States. Beyond the intercollegiate athletics program, nearly 300 students participate in intramural competitions each year.
Ursinus Commitment to AthleticsThe College has invested more than $18,000,000 over the last decade to create premier indoor practice and competition
facilities. The new Floy Lewis Bakes Field House, the renovated Helfferich Gymnasium, and the newly constructed baseball field have all played host to Centennial Conference, ECAC, and NCAA Championship play. In addition, the
Eleanor Frost Snell Turf Field has put Ursinus in the national spotlight, helping our field hockey team capture the NCAA Championship in 2006, as well as serving as the host venue for the event on two separate occasions.
The Case for Support• Artificial turf has become integral to the current culture of collegiate football and lacrosse (men’s and women’s). With the exception of Bryn Mawr on the women’s side, every Centennial Conference institution competes on artificial turf in the sports of football and/or men’s and women’s lacrosse.
• The NCAA now permits fall and spring teams to compete in a non-traditional season. While this is a great opportunity for students and teams to compete year round, the current grass facilities
cannot continue to accommodate this constant use.
• The proposed project will provide a new grass field dedicated to club sports such as, rugby, which has nearly 100 men and women students participating.
• Installing a new lighted turf surface on Patterson Field will permit the intramural sports program to use that field at night under the lights, for Ursinus students not engaged in intercollegiate sports.
• The resurfacing of the track along with upgrading the field events, will allow the College to breathe new life into a facility that has been a part of the Ursinus landscape since the 1930’s. The possibility of hosting home track and field competitions can now become a reality.
• The expanded Patterson Field turf and stadium improvement project will give Ursinus a competitive edge to recruit student athletes and students in general. A new turf field for football and lacrosse will provide our student athletes with the best resources for competitive play in the Centennial Conference.
