Benedictine University

The Village of Lisle-Benedictine University Sports Complex is home to the Eagles' football, men's soccer, women's soccer , baseball, softball and track and field programs. The multi-million dollar on-campus facility is a collaborative effort between Benedictine University and the Village of Lisle.

This 3,000-seat stadium is one of the finest athletics facilities in the nation. The stadium features an artificial playing surface, state-of-the-art electronic scoreboard and message board, lights and a nine-lane competition track. Natural grass practice fields and throws venues are located directly adjacent to the main stadium. Atop the seating area of the stadium are the main press box area, complete with coaching/broadcast booths, four luxury suites and viewing sundecks on both ends. 

The Sports Complex affords baseball teams and fans a state-of-the-art facility that offers both comfort and functionality to the highest degree. The baseball stadium seats 1,100 overall. More than 800 of those seats are comfortable stadium-style chairs – including handicap accessible areas on the main concourse – serving as an invitation for fans to sit back and support their team! The natural turf was groomed in 2005 by the same crew that cares for U.S. Cellular Field (home of the 2005 World Champion Chicago White Sox). Over-sized dugouts allow for maximum player comfort. A large electronic scoreboard/message center helps entertain the crowd. The enclosed climate-controlled press box features permanent phone lines and data ports. There are also numerous ideal locations for both still and video cameras, and the public address system gives coverage to all areas of the field and concourse.  

The softball field measures a symmetrical 225 feet to the outfield fence. The facility is lighted with an electronic scoreboard and message center. Other amenities include bullpen areas down each line, dugouts which are covered and have protective fencing along the entire face, a tarp for inclement weather, video tape and viewing options from the deck of the main stadium.

The wide-open concourse offers a spacious area for fans to enter and exit the facility after finding ample parking in lots directly adjacent to the south and east Sports Complex entrances. This comfortable facility offers fans a park-like concourse with umbrella covered tables and two built-in concessions areas.
 
Annually, the facility plays host to numerous high school playoff and championship contests. It was also site of the 2006 NCAA Division II Women’s Lacrosse Championship (the first time that the championship had been anywhere but at an East Coast site) and the 2006 NCAA Division III Men’s and Women’s Outdoor Track and Field Championships.
