“As we’ve shared and shaped this proposal, what’s been most meaningful to me is seeing how many people believe in the vision of creating a facility we can all take pride in—right in the front yard of Benet Academy. We’re committed to bringing this to life and are deeply grateful for the support we’ve received so far. Thanks to the generous support already received, we’re confident that—together—we can create something truly special for our students and the generations to come,” Bill Myers Benet President.

To manage the stadium’s renovation and deliver the renewed facility in time for the 2026-2027 academic and athletic calendars, the school envisions commencing construction shortly after obtaining all necessary approvals and permits from the Village.

Thanks to the generous support of early donors and the strong encouragement of Benet Academy’s Board of Directors, the school is preparing to move forward with the first phase of the stadium renovation project. To offset all the costs associated with the stadium and athletic field renovation, the school is undertaking a capital campaign. Take our survey and share your perspective now.

Phase One: The renovation of the existing stadium through the installation of a multi-sport synthetic field, the replacement of the current track with a new all-weather track, a new grandstand enclosed press, hospitality and coaches’ boxes, and the creation of visitors’ seating on the east side. Other upgrades include installing modern lighting, audio systems, and scoreboards. A new alumni plaza will be featured at the stadium entrance to honor the community’s past and current support of Benet.

Phase Two: Creating a hospitality building and pavilion at the northern portion of the stadium complex housing concessions, a spirit store, restrooms, classrooms or team rooms, and a training room. To the east of the main drive, the school envisions installing another synthetic turf primarily to host soccer matches.
