St. Joseph's Outdoor Field Complex

The Outdoor Field Complex opened in April 2012. We are located approximately one mile east of the Long Island Campus on the Sunrise Highway South Service Road. The complex is home to the Golden Eagles men’s and women’s soccer, men’s and women’s tennis, men’s and women’s lacrosse, softball and baseball teams. A schedule for all St. Joseph’s home athletic contests is listed at www.sjliathletics.com.

This new 24.8-acre complex is state of the art. All venues feature Musco lighting systems for night games, competitions and events. The facility contains a number of outstanding venues that are home to several of the College's NCAA Division III teams.
