Investing in Champions On and Off the Field
Stonehill College has always believed in the power of athletics to shape character and community. In 2022, we embraced a bold new era by joining NCAA Division I—bringing national exposure, postseason play, and new opportunities for our student-athletes. Now, we’re matching their commitment with a transformational investment in facilities that will elevate Stonehill Athletics and provide enriching experiences for our students, alumni, and fans.
Thanks to a generous lead gift from Tom ’72 and Kathleen Bogan, Stonehill will soon be home to Bogan Arena—a 120,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art sports facility featuring a basketball center and ice hockey rink, each with 2,500 seats, modern training spaces, locker rooms, and meeting areas as well as premium seating, concessions, and advanced media amenities.
The Built to Rise campaign also includes new fields for baseball and softball, featuring turf playing surfaces, improved lighting, upgraded dugouts and bullpens, and a modern press box. This new Athletic Fields Complex will support varsity competition, club sports and intramurals year-round.
Along with the Chip Salyards '88 Memorial Pavilion, the Fields Complex will create modern, dedicated spaces where athletes can train, compete and thrive, while offering fans and families an enhanced game-day experience.
These athletic facilities position Stonehill on the national stage, competing in major markets across the country and showcasing our student-athletes to wider audiences. This visibility not only elevates our athletic programs but also strengthens student recruitment, helping attract the next generation of Skyhawks and supporting enrollment growth for the College.
Rooted in Stonehill’s proud athletics history, Built to Rise elevates our competitive spirit. It champions student success, deepens community connection and drives the continued growth of the College.
Tom ’72 and Kathleen Bogan commit largest gift in institution’s history, paving way for development of multipurpose athletic arena.
