The Stadium at the Jopson Athletic Complex

The Stadium is part of the Jopson Athletic Complex and is home to the Eagles football, field hockey, men’s lacrosse, women’s lacrosse and track & field teams. The Jopson Athletic Complex received a major upgrade during the summer of 2013 and once again in 2024 as FieldTurf was installed to replace the existing natural grass surface. The facility has a seating capacity of 3,500.

The track is equipped with an eight-lane 400-meter Beynon 300 surface and includes steeplechase, long jump, high jump, pole vault, javelin and triple jump surfaces. A throwing cage was added to the complex in 2016 and is used for discus and hammer competitions.

The track was fully renovated during summer 2022 to add in the steeplechase pit, javelin and long and triple jump runways. After the renovations were completed, Bridgewater's newly-updated facility hosted the 2023 ODAC Outdoor Track & Field Championships and will host the event again in 2024. The facility also hosts the annual Doc Jopson Invitational that sees dozens of the top programs from around the region taking part in competition. 

The stadium at Jopson Athletic Complex has hosted numerous NCAA postseason football games with the most recent one taking place in 2019, and hosted the aforementioned ODAC Outdoor Track & Field Championships four times (2015, 2018, 2023, 2024).

In 2019, the Michael & Sharon Clark video board was added- a 14.5 ft. x 32.5 ft scoreboard that includes a video board with live in-game video and graphics.

The Ed & Judy Henneberger Band Pavilion finished construction and was dedicated in 2022 and serves as a practice and storage space for the Screamin' Eagles Marching Band. The building sits beside the visiting team bleachers and the pole vault runway.
