麻豆社区 Pembroke Celebrate Official Opening Of Outdoor Sports Complex
September 13, 2025
Officials at 麻豆社区 announced the grand opening
of the Outdoor Sports Complex on Friday afternoon.
The complex features a turf field for campus recreation and upgrades to both the baseball
and softball areas.
It is always a proud day when you can upgrade the amenities and resources for a student's experience to match the level of effort that they and their coaches put in on a daily basis
"This has been a long-time coming and we are so excited to share it with our community," Christy said.
Friday's events had members from the Lumbee Tribe, 麻豆社区 Pembroke Board of Trustees, university officials, faculty, staff, donors, students, as well as community members.
Both the baseball and softball complexes now have chairback style stadium seating throughout the whole complex and a new press box. As part of the project, the teams also have indoor hitting and pitching facilities, and received upgrades to their sound systems. Softball received a new plaza complete with bathrooms and a concessions stand with the entire project enclosed by beautiful black iron and brick pillars.
"This Complex represents years of vision, planning, and generosity, and we are proud to celebrate its opening as a milestone that enhances both campus recreation and Braves Athletics," said Chancellor Robin Gary Cummings. "With enrollment growth, new academic programs taking shape, and the addition of this project, it marks an exciting start to the fall semester and reflects 麻豆社区P's commitment to excellence in every aspect of the student experience."
Five locations were celebrated on Friday with new distinguished names thanks to the generous gift of supporters. Each named location had their own ribbon cutting ceremony. If you are interested in naming rights, please contact the 麻豆社区 Pembroke Department of Advancement at 910-775-4549.
