Let's keep the ball rolling on this campus tour! Across the highway from the main campus we arrive at Lion Soccer Field, which was once the site of tennis courts and a botanical nursery before former Athletic Director Paul Peak and Soccer Coach Neil Piper had the vision to turn it into a soccer field. First, some adjustments had to be made. The land was sloped toward the south, so Coach Piper salvaged dirt from a nearby construction site to even out the surface. In 2009, lights were added to make night games possible, and in 2011 a press box was installed at the north end of the field between the player benches. A new playing surface was added in 2013. The following year, a scoreboard was installed in the southeast corner. The grass playing surface is 115 yards by 72 yards running east to west. Bleachers are located on the south end of the field, and can seat approximately 500 fans. The Lion Soccer Field is located at the intersection of Highway 178 (Culver Street) and Hubbell Drive.
