Murphy Field House
In 1993, thanks to the generosity of Saint Ignatius founder Murlan J. Murphy '36, Murphy Field House was opened at Saint Ignatius High School.
The gym is dedicated to intramural sports for all students to use. When he provided for the construction and endowment of the Murphy Field House, Murphy said, “Competitive sports teach some of life’s important lessons. The competition teaches not only how to win but how to lose and how to come back the next day to work at it again.”
He made it possible for every student at Saint Ignatius High School to have that opportunity, coining Murphy’s Law, ‘Everybody Plays’, a banner can be found hanging on the above indoor track that echoes his words.
Murphy Gym, located adjacent to Sullivan Gym, can host varsity volleyball and wrestling when needed and multiple CYO events throughout the school year.
