Sigma Beta Chi Field

Adding to the beautiful landscape of The Park at St. Mary's is the new soccer field, named Sigma Beta Chi Field in honor of a generous gift, featuring a FIFA regulation-size field, bleachers and lights for nighttime games. Offering prospective players the chance to play on professional-scale field, it also puts them squarely in the heart of a college campus — a prime opportunity for two targeted audiences, youth-league and high-school players, to be exposed to higher education.

Sigma Beta Chi, a St. Mary's fraternity, raised nearly $250,000 for the outdoor sports complex project, a gesture the University honored by naming the new soccer field in their honor. The fraternity was long associated with the University's soccer program, with soccer players such as Steven Jansma (B.B.A. '89) being a member of the fraternity. Jansma took the lead for Sigma Beta Chi's involvement in the project.

The field, along with the rest of the outdoor sports project, was completed in the fall of 2013.
