DELHI, N.Y. (November 30, 2021) - SUNY Delhi is excited to announce the arrival of a brand new athletic turf field facility, set to break ground early 2022 and slated to begin use for the 2022-23 academic year. Primarily serving as the new home venue for the Broncos' men's & women's soccer and men's lacrosse teams, a fundraising campaign is underway with a goal of $250,000 to meet all needs for the site that is set to include a press box, lights, scoreboard, and stadium seating. Supporters can give today and learn more at DelhiBroncos.com/turffield.
The need for an all-weather turf field coincided with SUNY Delhi's transition to NCAA Division III and a desire by the college to align its athletic programs with a modern venue on par with the Broncos' new NCAA competition. The field will sit at the top hill next to Clark Field House, where the grass field resides that serves as the soccer and lacrosse home site. The current field presents several challenges brought forth by inclement weather affecting playing conditions and lack of electricity and internet. While its main purpose will benefit soccer and lacrosse, the turf facility will also provide an additional resource for other athletic programs, intramurals and student recreation programming, the community, and the college's academic programs in Physical Education and Recreation & Sports Management. Most endearing will be the opportunity it lends for SUNY Delhi to add more sports teams, with plans in place for women's lacrosse.
