This summer marks an exciting new chapter for Serra athletics as we begin installation of a brand-new athletics field and track surface on campus.

The current athletics field has served the Padres for more than 10 years, while the track has carried generations of student-athletes for more than 15 years. After years of memories, competition, and championship moments, it's time for a well-deserved refresh.

While there was plenty of conversation around a possible blue turf, we've decided to keep things classic with a traditional green athletics field—honoring the look and feel of Serra's athletics tradition.

This upgrade is part of a larger vision to continue improving the student-athlete experience and enhancing campus facilities. And we're not stopping here—new gym bleachers are next on the list, continuing the momentum of facility upgrades across campus.

In fact, we may even be giving alumni a chance to own a piece of Serra history, as we explore the possibility of distributing sections of the original gym bleachers to special alumni as commemorative keepsakes.

We're excited for this next era of Serra athletics and can't wait for students, athletes, and alumni to experience the refreshed look of campus. Stay tuned for more updates as construction progresses!
