Penn State Field Hockey Stadium Construction Closing In on Completion

Penn State is closing in on the completion of a $12.8 million renovation project to its Field Hockey Complex.

The project also includes upgrades to the home and visiting team dressing areas, a locker room space of officials, ticket office, public restrooms and concession areas. The stadium will include roughly 1,200 bench seating capacity in addition to press and media boxes and a television broadcast booth.

Work is expected to be completed this spring.

The project began under former head coach Char Morett-Curtiss, who announced her retirement from that position in February 2023, although she has since remained with the athletic department in an advisory role. Following the retirement of Morett-Curtiss, Penn State hired longtime associate head coach Lisa Bervinchak Love to lead the program. 

After going 9-8 during Bervinchak Love’s inaugural season at the helm, the Nittany Lions will open the 2024 slate in late August, though the team’s schedule has not yet been released.

The field hockey renovation project falls outside a larger swatch of renovation and upgrade plans clocking in at roughly $70 million that was approved last year. Those projects include an air supported practice bubble near the Jeffery Field complex which is slated to move forward soon.
