Want to see a closer look at our athletic facilities…

St. Laurence boasts some of the finest athletic facilities in Illinois. All of our facilities are on our 23-acre campus. Each facility is fully enclosed, providing maximum security for our athletes during practice and competition.

KAVANAGH STADIUM

This state of the art facility was built in 2008 and is home for Vikings football, soccer, lacrosse, and track. The playing surface is Field Turf, and there is a world-class track that surrounds the field. Kavanagh Stadium has lights that allow football, soccer, and lacrosse all to play games at night. A state-of-the-art scoreboard was installed when the stadium was overhauled, and there is seating for 1,250 fans.

VIKING FIELD

One of the premiere baseball stadiums in high school athletics, Viking Field was completed in 2008. Amenities include in-ground dugouts, a brick backstop, a 2 story press box, 2 turfed batting cages, and a 3 mound bullpen. The field also has a 14-foot tall berm spanning from left-field to center-field that is a great place for watching games. Atop of the berm is a large state-of-the art 9-inning scoreboard and message center.

GYM

The spacious gymnasium has been recently updated with new bleachers and a fresh coat of paint. Also, brand new main and auxiliary scoreboards are being installed for the 2012-13 basketball, wrestling, and volleyball seasons. The gym holds 1,600 and has a great environment for sporting events.

CHARLES GRUNHARD FITNESS CENTER

The 2,500-square foot Charles Grunhard Fitness Center was made possible by Tim Grunhard ’86, former Pro-Bowl center of the Kansas City Chiefs. The fitness center is equipped with exercise machines and weights that can accommodate up to 65 people.

TENNIS COURTS

Four full-size tennis courts are situated on the west end of campus. They are recently renovated, hard-surface courts that are utilized by our tennis team in the spring.

PRACTICE FACILITIES

STL has two grass multi-purpose practice fields situated near Kavanagh Stadium and Viking Field. One field is equipped with football goalposts and the other with soccer goals. There is a discus throwing area on one of the practice fields, and there is also a shot put area between the tennis courts and track.
