I remember attending the 2000 4A Quarterfinals game there. Riverside Brookfield at McNamara. Was a very cold night as I recall and a good game! Was a great stadium experience 25 years ago.

Saw Mac and Providence there. Great game

Aren't their numbers low? Seems like an aggressive move

*Speculation only*
Sometimes private schools are gifted donations but they have to be used in certain ways. I.e. Some old rich alumn
dies and leaves a big check but it's for a specific purpose.

Or maybe the upkeep on the old facility was a lot and it just makes sense to build new?

Could be several explanations.

Edit -
Looks like they are undergoing a large capital project that's touching lots of areas. I suppose it (and other projects) are an investment to reverse enrollment trends - or grow tuition base. Maybe they felt facilities aren't meeting demands for the tuition.

Watched some great heated games there. Eastridge vs Mac. Westview vs Mac. BBCHS vs Mac. K3 vs Mac

Mac needs to do something. They’ve lost a lot of their old stomping grounds. The area schools have generally been doing well, and St Anne recently started 8 man.

Any renderings of new field?

Will the field still allow access to the bowling alley for pre half and post game needs....along with on the sideline pickup truck parking....
