Ross Memorial Park/Alexandre Stadium

Ross Memorial ParkThe most recent addition to the athletic facilities at Washington & Jefferson College are Ross Memorial Park and Alexandre Stadium. Alexandre Stadium hosts the College’s men’s and women’s soccer teams in the fall and the men’s lacrosse team in the spring season while Ross Memorial Park serves as home to the W&J baseball team.

The playing surface is entirely made of FieldTurf, a synthetic playing surface that W&J has used at Cameron Stadium since its renovation in 2001. A FieldTurf representative indicates that Ross Memorial Park and Alexandre Stadium combined represent the largest continuous artificial playing surface in the world.

The 233,000-square foot playing surface accommodates two full soccer/lacrosse fields. When not in use for soccer or lacrosse, this facility can be converted for use by W&J baseball. The baseball outfield overlaps one of the two soccer fields. By erecting a removable fence and revealing the base areas, the facility can be converted for use by baseball for games and practices.

Alexandre StadiumFour hundred chairback seats surround Ross Memorial Park in addition to a press box, state-of-the-art scoreboard, and public restrooms. Also, behind the backstop of the baseball field is a two-level structure that houses public restrooms on the bottom level while the upper level will boast a training room, press box area, and a president’s box.
