COWELL STADIUM SEATING CHART 5

WHITTEMORE CENTER ARENA SEATING CHART 6

Lundholm Gymnasium Lundholm Gymnasium is home to both the Women's and Men's Basketball teams, the Volleyball team, and the GymnasGcs team. In December 2000, the University of New Hampshire athleGc department received approval to begin the restoraGon of Lundholm Gymnasium. The gym, dedicated in name in 1968 to Carl Lundholm, a 1921 graduate of the University and also the athleGc department's director from 1939 to 1963, had served as the primary home of the Wildcat basketball programs for several decades. New computer controlled lights were added and the ﬂoor was reﬁnished compleGng the majority of the renovaGons.

The WhiJemore Center Used by the Men and Women's hockey teams, the Whiaemore Center opened on November 10, 1995 with the Wildcats defeaGng the then naGonal champion Boston University, 6-‐5, in overGme. The arena brings the University's athleGc faciliGes to a state-‐of-‐the-‐art level and posiGons UNH as a leader among the regions colleges and universiGes. The 6,501 seat hockey arena known as Towse Rink was designed for easy conversion to a 7,500 seat facility for revenue-‐producing concerts, exhibiGons and other events. The hockey rink became the sixth in the naGon to feature and Olympic-‐sized ice surface (200 feet by 100 feet) -‐ instead of standard 200 by 85.

Cowell Stadium The home of Wildcat football for the past 64 years is Cowell Stadium, located at the west end of the UNH campus. Known as Alumni Field unGl 1952, the stadium was made possible by contribuGons of UNH Alumni and was the ﬁrst project of the Alumni Fund in the history of the University. Dedicated as a part of the Lewis Fields on Oct. 10, 1936, the stadium replaced what is now Memorial Field, the current home for the Wildcat women's teams. It is named for the former Wildcats athleGc director and football coach, William H. "Butch" Cowell.

Bremner Field

Bremner Field is used by both men and women's soccer. It was renovated into an Astroplay facility (approximately 110,000 square feet) with full lighGng in the summer of 2002.

Memorial Field Home fields for both lacrosse and field hockey. Also completed in the summer of 2002, the field was renovated into an Astroturf facility and has full light capability.

Swasey Pool The Henry C. Swasey Pool is the home of the New Hampshire Wildcat swim team. Located in UNH's Field House, the 25-‐yard pool has six lanes for compeGGve use with and aaached 13-‐foot deep diving well that includes one and three meter duraﬂex boards. CompleGng the facility is a 650 seat balcony for spectator seaGng at New Hampshire home meets. Recent fundraising eﬀorts, combined with generous donaGons from alumni, parents and friends, made possible the installaGon of a new mulG-‐lane read out score board and new aqua grip touch pads by Colorado Timing Systems, Inc. Also, a new records board proudly displays team and pool records.

Reggie F. Atkins Track Facility This new state of the art outdoor track facility was dedicated in May of 2002. It is named aMer Reggie "Racetrack" Atkins, who graduated in the class of 1928 and who was the top-‐quarter mile runner on Paul Sweet's 1924 track team. His goal was to see the ﬁerce compeGGon that he was accustomed to return to his alma mater; thus he donated funds to help build this new facility. It features a 400-‐meter, syntheGc-‐surface track, runways for the pole vault, jump pits for the long and the triple jump, a 3,000-‐ meter steeplechase and space for throwing events.

Lewis Field Lewis Field has a grass pitch and is the primary home for the UNH women’s soccer program. It is part of the University’s athleGc complex located on campus and is adjacent to Cowell Stadium. Lewis Fields was the site of America East ﬁrst round tournament games in both 2003 and 2004. UNH won both of those postseason matches to advance to the next round of the tourney.

Paul Sweet Oval

The UNH indoor track is located inside the Field House and was named aMer the first coach of men's track and field /cross country, Paul Sweet who began coaching at UNH in 1924. He conGnued to coach for the next 46 years. The UNH men's track and field/cross country has conGnued the tradiGon that was set forth by Sweet. The emphasis is for each individual to strive for achievement in both academics and athleGcs. The track was first dedicated 22 years ago in 1966 and has since been renovated in the 1987-‐1988 season.

GymnasFcs Training Facility The facility, which allows the UNH Gymnasts to train and perform at a higher and safer level, is heralded as one of the top training spots in New England, and possibly the East Coast. Although built approximately 10 years ago, the UNH coaching staﬀ has worked to ensure that the 8,500 square foot gymnasium has been well maintained and updated to preserve its newness, meeGng the highest standards.

Jerry Azumah Performance Center The Jerry Azumah Performance Center opened its doors the summer of 2003 to UNH Student-‐Athletes. A monetary donaGon by Azumah, a cornerback with the Chicago Bears of the NFL and 1999 recipient of the Walter Payton Award (top football player in Div. 1-‐AA), allowed the UNH athleGc department to overhaul its exisGng strength and condiGoning center.
