Athletic Complex
Concordia strives to help student-athletes reach their full potential, and to be among the top competitors in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). The new athletic complex will provide first-class facilities for soccer and baseball to meet the growing needs of Cavalier athletics and the community. The new facility will enrich the experience for Cavalier players and fans, and serve the community through hosting tournaments, clinics, camps, and local community sports programs.
Tuominen Yard: The new soccer field, Tuominen Yard, is named for Jarkko Tuominen '94, whose accidental death in 2004 cut short a life of energy and joy. Nicknamed "the Finnish Flash," Jarkko remains one of the most decorated soccer players in Concordia history.
