The 2008-09 season welcomed the newest addition to the Niagara athletics family, as the newly renovated Niagara Field is set to open.
Situated behind the Kiernan Center, the new multi-purpose field will be home to both of Niagara's soccer teams, along with the women's lacrosse team. The state of the art field will feature a new field turf surface, lights, seating for 1,200 and a fully functional press box.
The new field touts a turf playing field, allowing it to be used year round. Niagara Field's new surface is specifically designed for soccer and lacrosse. Also on the field are European game goals, making games at the new field a top of the line experience.
Markings needed to play soccer and women's lacrosse as well as the Purple Eagles logo along the sideline will be depicted on the turf. The markings are permanent and will never need to be touched up.
Lights are fitted around the new field, allowing the Purple Eagles to hold night practices and games. Surrounding the field will be covering benches for fans to sit on, while they take in all the action at the newest addition to the athletics family.
