When student-athletes returned to Edmonds College for the fall season, they found a Tritons field that looked entirely new. Redone during the summer of 2025, the field now supports baseball, soccer, and softball games with better playing surfaces and clearer views for fans. The renovation upgraded the old, worn-out field and made the environment more functional according to athletes, coaches, and overall more enjoyable to other members of the campus community.
The field was under construction during the summer of 2025 and was completed before the start of the fall soccer season. Finishing the project before the season allowed student-athletes to begin using the new facility right away. According to athletic director Spencer Stark, the field was long overdue for a makeover because it had become worn out and no longer provided the quality needed for outdoor sports. The decision to completely redo the field was made so that baseball, soccer, softball, and other outdoor activities could have a better and safer playing surface.
Athletes are happy with the improvements. Players from the softball, soccer, and baseball teams have said they like the redesigned field and appreciate the upgraded playing conditions.
The improvements also benefit fans who attend games. In the past, some families and spectators complained that the visitors’ dugout blocked the view for people sitting in the lower bleachers during baseball games. With the redesign, that issue has been fixed, giving fans a clearer and more open view of the field. This change allows family members, students, and other supporters to watch games more easily and enjoy the experience more.
Student-athletes have also shared positive feedback about the renovated field. Edmonds College soccer player Megan Nakamura said the new surface has made a noticeable difference during both practices and games. “The new field feels a lot better to play on, and it’s nice knowing that we have a space that’s built for multiple sports,” Nakamura said. “It makes our games more enjoyable and gives us a field we can be proud of when other teams come to play here.”
Softball player Kailee Gorospe also expressed excitement about the improvements. “The field looks amazing compared to last year,” Gorospe said. “It shows that the school cares about our teams and wants us to have a good place to compete. It also makes game days more fun when we see more fans coming out to watch.” Together, these perspectives highlight how the renovated field has positively impacted the experience of student-athletes at Edmonds College.
The coaching staff has also responded positively to the new field. Softball coach Antiontte Watson said the updated facility has made a significant difference for the team and the overall athletic environment. “The new field has really improved the experience for our players,” the coach said. “The surface is much better to play on, and it shows that the college is investing in its athletes and giving them a place they can be proud to compete on.” Coaches believe these upgrades will help teams perform better and create a more professional, enjoyable setting for both games and practices.
Overall, the renovated Tritons field has become a major boost for athletics at Edmonds College. The upgraded facility offers a higher-quality playing surface for baseball, soccer, and softball, while also improving the experience for fans who come out to support the teams. Since the previous field had worn down over time, the renovation created a space that more accurately reflects the college’s commitment to its athletic programs and student-athletes.
Responses from coaches, players, and spectators show that the changes are already making a difference. From clearer sightlines for fans to better playing conditions for athletes like Nakamura and Gorospe, the new field has helped build a more enjoyable and supportive environment for outdoor sports at Edmonds College. As teams continue to compete and practice there, the renovated field will likely remain an important part of campus life and school spirit.
