Bryan's soccer field is home to nearly a hundred games each season, for both our men's and women's soccer teams. It has been called by many of our opponents the "best field in the conference" and our opponents hate to play us at home, primarily because of the interaction of our fans.
While our field is top-notch, our fan seating leaves much to be desired. We have only a few bench-type stadium seats and overall the seating area is unkempt and in need of significant improvement. That's where you come in. Do you remember cheering your Lions on to victory? Perhaps you were down on the field and you experienced the electrifying presence of your fans. You can help us to improve the experience for our fans and players by helping us raise the money needed to clean up and improve the fan area.
The project has been split into three potential phases, with a projected cost of $80,000 if all the work is contracted out.
