Turf Update
-
Our new turf field is almost ready, and we couldn’t be more excited! Thanks to a perfect stretch of sunny weather and the incredible efforts of our excavation crews and installation team, construction has flown by in less than 3 months! This state-of-the-art playing surface will be a game-changer for Rice, empowering our student-athletes to reach their God-given potential. We’re gearing up for a ribbon-cutting ceremony just before the Field Hockey game on Thursday, 9/26—stay tuned for more details!
This multi-purpose turf field can be used by all of our fall and spring sports teams, playing later in the fall and starting earlier in the spring.
This project is the first part of a larger strategic plan. In time, we expect to add grandstands, bathrooms, a track, tennis courts, a new gym floor and bleachers, and a performing arts center and chapel. We know students have diverse interests and we care about all of them. Expansion takes time and resources - we’re taking action one step at a time.
Stay tuned for updates as we take this big step forward for Rice athletics!
