SECOND BUY-A-SEAT CAMPAIGN

EAGLE FIELD: "A SOURCE OF PRIDE"
Winthrop University and
the Rock Hill soccer community take great pride in Eagle
Field. Over the past several years the University
has been hard at work to keep moving forward with
renovations to the Winthrop Soccer Complex. During
the first phase the playing area was enclosed, the bench
areas were upgraded, and a top-of-the-line Toro
sprinkler system was added. In the next phase we
were able to add lights thanks to highly successful
Buy-A-Light campaign supported by our friends, fans, and
alumni of Winthrop University Soccer. Our third
phase was to add permanent seating (1,000) and a first
class press box. Also installed in this phase was
a new state of the art sound system with rotating
DAKTRONICS LCD scoreboard and message center. In
2005, a new field house was constructed directly behind
the main seating. This facility includes locker
rooms, storage, concession area, and a lounge for
players and club members. The main stadium was
recently landscaped and brick and iron fencing was
added.
The goal is to fully fund the soccer program at the
current NCAA scholarship limit. Our goal is to
compete at the regional and national level every year.
To accomplish this we will need your help to get as
close to the NCAA equivalent scholarship level as
possible. We want you to join in our efforts to
help raise the level of scholarships. Our first
Buy-A-Seat Campaign was very successful, selling all but
a hand full of the 150 stadium-style chair-back seats
included in our original seating design.
SECOND
BUY-A-SEAT CAMPAIGN
In this next phase, we have recently installed an
additional 800 bench-style seats on the press box side
of the field (the same side as the player's benches).
We have had many requests over the years to get fans
closer to the players. NOW is your chance!
We are offering these seats for $250 each, with all
funds going toward soccer scholarships. Your
tax-deductible gift of $250 will allow you to purchase a
seat with a perpetual inscribed plaque. The seat
is yours for life, which includes a season ticket for
one season and you will also receive an Eagle Club
membership for one year at the Garnet level. If
you should desire to purchase more than one seat your
Eagle Club benefit would increase.
