Niagara Field

The 2008-09 season started of a new era for Niagara athletics, as the newly renovated Niagara Field opened for play.

Situated behind the Kiernan Center, the new multi-purpose field is the home for both of Niagara’s soccer teams, along with the women’s lacrosse team. The state of the art field features a field turf surface, lights, seating for 1,200 and a fully functional press box.

The facility touts a turf playing field, allowing it to be used year-round. Niagara Field’s new surface is specifically designed for soccer and lacrosse. Also on the field are European style game goals, making games a top of the line experience.

Markings needed to play soccer and women’s lacrosse as well as the Purple Eagles logo along the sideline are depicted on the turf. These markings are permanent and will never need to be touched up.

Lights are fitted around the field, allowing the Purple Eagles to hold night games and practices. Bleachers are lined along the near sideline, allowing fans to take in all the action at the newest addition to the athletics family.

Niagara University

Founded by the Vincentian Community in 1856, Niagara University is a private liberal arts university with a strong, value-based Catholic tradition. Its four academic divisions include the Colleges of Arts and Sciences, Business Administration, Education and Hospitality and Tourism Management. The university also offers an Academic Exploration program that provides a learning community for students who are undecided about their major.

Located on the Niagara River overlooking the Canadian province of Ontario, the university is at the northern limits of the city of Niagara Falls, N.Y., about four miles from the world-famous cataracts. Over 3,800 students are enrolled in its undergraduate and graduate programs.

Over the years, Niagara has evolved into a comprehensive university, offering more than 50 professional and career-oriented programs for its 2,900-plus undergraduates. More than 900 graduate students are enrolled in a variety of programs in the College of Education and in master’s programs in business, criminal justice and mental health counseling.

More than two dozen buildings dot the picturesque Niagara University campus. In 2001, the university completed an $11-million renovation of one of its more historic buildings, St. Vincent’s Hall. Built in 1906, the four-story, collegiate Gothic-style building was gutted and returned to service in less than nine months. It now houses a ground floor devoted to information technology and two floors of classrooms with the latest in instructional technology. Its fourth floor features a large atrium and serves as home of the College of Hospitality and Tourism Management. In the fall of 2002, an $11-million apartment-style housing complex opened on campus. In August 2007, the university opened a new $18.65-million academic complex that houses the College of Busi-ness Administration and the College of Education.

Eighty-seven percent of Niagara’s students come from New York state, and more than half of that number comes from Niagara and Erie counties (57 percent). Seven percent are from out of state and 5 percent are from Canada and other foreign countries. The College of Educa-tion has a large Canadian enrollment in its graduate programs. Niagara is the only Western New York college or university with ministerial consent to offer its programs in the Province of Ontario. Nearly 1,500 students live on the Niagara campus.

All of Niagara’s colleges hold major national accreditations, including those of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools, the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE), the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) International and the Council on Hotel, Restaurant and Institutional Education (CHRIE).

Among the university’s more popular academic programs are criminology & criminal justice, psychology, business, theater studies, biology, communication studies and political science.

Niagara competes in 18 Division I NCAA sports, 17 of which are members of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference. The men’s hockey team plays in the Atlantic Hockey Association. The Purple Eagles have qualified for an NCAA Tournament in eight of the last nine years. and nine of Niagara’s all-time NCAA bids have come in the last 12 seasons.

Among Niagara’s sports legends are National Basketball Association Hall of Fame member Calvin Murphy and former NBA coaches Frank Layden (Utah Jazz), Hubie Brown (Memphis Grizzlies) and the late Larry Costello (Milwaukee Bucks). Brown is also in the NBA Hall of Fame.

The university is within easy driving distance of Buffalo and Toronto, major metro areas offering opportuni-ties for cultural and social entertain-ment.
