The Graham Family Sports Campus underwent exciting renovations this summer, including replacing the field turf and resurfacing the track. Under the direction of Lloyd Consulting Group, the facilities have a new artificial surface by Field Turf and track resurfacing by Beynon.

“Jesuit education is committed to the formation of the whole person, mind, body and spirit,” said President Bob Ryan. “So, athletics are not extra at Brophy; they are essential to student formation and community life. The enhancements to the Graham Family Sports Campus reflect Brophy’s ongoing commitment to this belief and to supporting the hard work and dedication of our student-athletes and their coaches. I am grateful to all the many generous benefactors who have made these renovations possible. Go Broncos!”

Site preparation began on May 13, and construction will be completed by August 3.

The project includes installing a new Daktronics scoreboard with a video board to be delivered in November.

Brophy purchased the 10-acre parcel in 2007, and the facility has been in constant use for the last 14 years since opening in April 2010.

The donors who supported the 2024 Power Breakfast and the Men of ’27 Campaign made the project possible.
