Athletics projects proposed at Busch are as follows:
"High Point Solutions Stadium South End– High Point Solutions Stadium is the largest athletic venue on campus, with a seating capacity of 52,454, and is considered a key venue of Rutgers athletic facilities. The 2009 renovations to the stadium created seating at the south end of the field and created a large unfinished area below the seats. This area is proposed to be fitted out as locker rooms and athletics support space. Visiting team locker space will improve game operations management. Preliminary studies include a connection between the Hale Center and the south end.
"Hale Center Renovations – Directly adjacent and connected to High Point Solutions Stadium is the Hale Center, home to administrative and academic services, as well as training facilities for football, soccer, lacrosse, golf and tennis
programs. The master plan proposes renovating the Hale Center to become a dedicated football training facility and shared academic center for all athletes. Working in conjunction with the south end fit-out at the High Point Solutions Stadium, the Hale Center will provide updated support spaces including an enhanced football locker room and student lounge, expanded sport medicine, a new training and hydro therapy suite, additional coaches' offices, meeting rooms, and an expanded academic center. The Hale Center will have a new entry, allowing for a more spacious Hall of Fame and entry for students; and will be easily accessible from the stadium. Rutgers 2030 also looks to improve spectator circulation to the stadium by creating continuous sidewalks along Sutphen Road, lined with red maples to enhance the Rutgers tradition and atmosphere along the approach to the stadium.
"Yurcak Field Improvements – A proposed addition to the existing facility will provide enhanced locker rooms, a training room, and general office space with meeting and administrative space.
"Rutgers Golf Training Complex – Busch is home to the Rutgers University Golf Course, a PGA sanctioned, par 71 course that is the competition and practice facility for the Rutgers University Golf team; it and also serves members
of the public for nine months of the year. The master plan proposes a new team training center, additional course practice areas and parking, while minimizing disruption to existing wetlands.
"Multi-purpose Field House – the plan calls for a field house for field hockey, soccer, lacrosse, and track and field use, which will include locker
rooms and restrooms.
"Werblin Recreation Center – The Sonny Werblin Recreation Center is home to the Rutgers Swimming and Diving teams. The master plan proposes an addition and renovation of the recreation center to expand recreational activity; however, the reoriented building entry will improve access to the facility from the north, for both
athletics teams and recreational users.
"High Point Solutions Stadium and Practice Field Upgrades - the west side of the stadium is proposed to be renovated for press boxes. Other enhancements include upgrading existing restroom facilities and fitting out of an elevator tower at the east end of the stadium.
