Loyola Soccer - Facility

Stadium

Ridley Awalt Field

Committed to improving facilities for its Division I athletic programs, and with a goal of freeing up space in the center of campus for future development, Loyola University Maryland engaged Sasaki to develop the "Fields of Dreams" Master Plan. The plan provided a solution that would creatively utilize a nearby landfill site for a new stadium, practice fields, and a 400-meter track while allowing options for additional expansion. The cornerstone of the plan is the stadium with a 6,000-seat grandstand, synthetic turf fields, and views of the Baltimore skyline.

The stadium also includes professional-style locker rooms, a center for weights and fitness, offices, and sport medicine areas. Planning and construction was a decade-long process including seven years of site remediation to transform the contaminated landfill into a stadium suitable to host regional and national NCAA events. Completed in spring 2010, the Ridley Athletic Complex at Loyola University Maryland opened with much fanfare for a men's lacrosse game against rival Duke University.
