Bigger and Better
Synthetic Turf Baseball Venue and Multipurpose Field
Athletics are an integral part of the Anna Maria experience, uniting our community on the field and in the stands, and enhancing wellness, focus, productivity, and leadership among student-athletes. As they learn from caring coaches, practice and compete, our student-athletes pursue individual and group excellence with character and integrity, and discover the value of collaboration, teamwork, and victories that can’t be measured on a scoreboard. This complex will be the home of the AMCAT Baseball team, as well as utilized by men’s and women’s soccer and lacrosse, as well as the women’s field hockey team. This on-campus facility will provide a richer experience not only for our students, but for our wider community as well.

We will be providing periodic updates as the field is being built. The field is set to be ready for Fall 2023!
