Brandywine Heights Area School District is excited to invite the public to the opening celebration of its new Multipurpose Stadium on Friday, September 5, 2025, at 4:00 PM at the High School – 103 Old Topton Road, Mertztown, PA 19539.
This modern facility includes a six-lane distance track, eight-lane sprint track, Legion NXT synthetic turf field by Shaw Sports, LED lighting, ADA-accessible seating, and expanded gathering areas. The project was funded through bonds and capital reserves already allocated for facility improvements, requiring no additional tax impact.
“This project is about creating opportunities for our students,” said Michael Pinelli, Director of Athletics & Facilities. “At Brandywine Heights, we focus on the whole child—not just as athletes, but as young people preparing for their futures. This stadium provides a safe, modern place to compete, train, and grow. It’s built for today and designed to inspire success long into the future.”
The event will open with a performance by the Brandywine Heights Marching Band and continue with a ribbon cutting featuring district leaders, students, and project partners. Athletic matches will follow:
Turf Field Schedule
- 4:00 PM – Welcome & Ribbon Cutting Ceremony
- 4:30 PM – Varsity Field Hockey vs. Pottstown
- 6:00 PM – Varsity Boys Soccer vs. Lancaster County Christian
- 8:00 PM – Varsity Girls Soccer vs. Lancaster County Christian
This stadium is more than a competitive venue as it was thoughtfully designed with broader use in mind. Upcoming events include summer movie nights, and other events aimed at fostering community engagement.
The district extended thanks to Schlouch, Inc.; Shaw Sports Turf; Crouse Construction; Architerra; Rockland Roots; Brandywine Heights Education Foundation; and Ace Electric for bringing the vision to life. Residents are also invited to participate in the “Buy a Brick – Leave a Legacy” campaign, featuring engraved bricks along the stadium walkway.
