Waterville, MAINE - Throughout the Second Semester, Colby Athletics will be running a series on our outdoor venues. Each field/stadium/venue offers a multitude of specific advantages to maximize the capacity of our varsity programs, and its time for you to get to know them.
VOLUME 3 - Mark R. Serdjenian Field (Men's Soccer, Women's Soccer)
Named in 2020 for a beloved former coach, the Mark R. Serdjenian Field opened for play in the fall of 2017 for the men's and women's soccer teams. The original venue, Loebs Field, was located where the new Harold Alfond Athletics and Recreation Center now stands. The game field is complete with stadium seating and natural berms for additional game-viewing locations, as well as shelters and a state-of-the-art 16-foot wireless LED scoreboard.
Mark R. Serdjenian Field is strategically positioned to complement the adjacent Bill Alfond Field, the Baseball and Softball Complex, neighboring Harold Alfond Stadium, and the new Harold Alfond Athletics and Recreation Center.
"Our training grounds are some of the best grass fields in the country. They allow for a consistent training environment for the student-athletes, which is a huge factor in our individual and team development. The full-size field with perfect grass allows our program to play our brand of soccer at the highest level. Our stadium, the Mark R. Serdjenian Field, makes for an incredible student-athlete and fan experience. The stadium seating with the hillsides allow fans to be up-close to the action, adding a home field advantage to the event."
