The Van Andel Soccer Stadium, home of Hope College’s men’s
and women’s soccer teams, joined Hope’s other signature facilities
in 2009 as one of the finest soccer stadiums in the nation for a college
of Hope’s size.
Funded
by a leadership gift from David ’83 and
Carol ’81 Van Andel, as well as contributions from friends of Hope,
the stadium not only serves the college but provides a first-rate facility
for the entire Holland sports and recreation community, including being
used to host MHSAA soccer tournament games.
The world-class, state-of-the-art facility seats 1,400 fans
and includes two locker rooms, training and meeting rooms, a concession
stand, and a
press box. It also features artificial
turf and lighting for night games.
