Kyle and McLaughlin Fields
Due to a growing need for additional and adequate practice space, renovations to our athletic practice fields south of Lorain Avenue were practical as well as aesthetic. The fields, known as Kyle and McLaughlin Fields, honor our legendary Head Football Coach, Chuck Kyle '69, and current Head Soccer Coach, Mike McLaughlin '85.Â
Construction on the fields began May 1, 2017, and was completed in October 2017. President Rev. Raymond Guiao, S.J. '82, officially dedicated and blessed the fields on Monday, October 23, 2017.
The renovations include three acres of synthetic turf field with the creation of two synthetic turf practice fields lined for football, rugby, soccer and lacrosse – separated by safety netting or used as one large field.
The fields are open for community use, and lights keep them lit for children and adults alike when the Wildcats are not practicing.Â
Kyle and McLaughlin Fields have hosted many events, including the National Youth Rugby Championships which welcomes thousands from all over the world. Freshman and JV level sports will occasionally use McLaughlin and Kyle as a home field.Â
The fields are also used for intramurals throughout the school year.
