Similar to the blueprint Pitt began cultivating in 2000 to entrench itself among the country’s finest universities, Pitt Athletics is intent on doing the same from a student-athlete perspective.
The Petersen Sports Complex is built on 12 acres at the peak of Pitt’s upper campus, and provides state-of-the-art homes for the Panthers’ baseball, softball and men’s and women’s soccer teams. The Petersen Sports Complex not only gives Pitt student-athletes nationally competitive facilities, but it also rejuvenates a previously untapped area of land that neighbors the University of Pittsburgh campus.
Combined with the premier venues of Heinz Field, the UPMC Sports Performance Complex, the newly renovated Fitzgerald Field House and Trees Pool, and the upcoming addition of the Petersen Sports Complex, the Petersen Events Center offers students, parents and fans an enthralling sports experience that stretches from Oakland to the South Side to the booming North Shore.
