Athletics Facilities

Spaces for you to stay active

Whether you want to work out, cheer on your Bobcats from the student section or get competitive on the field, we have a wide range of state-of-the-art facilities for your active lifestyle.

Pick up the speed on the elevated indoor track and get busy in the weight room in the Athletics and Recreation Center on the Mount Carmel Campus. Take a moment to reflect and relax in the yoga studios on the North Haven Campus, or head up to the Rocky Top Student Center on the York Hill Campus and take a class in the Spinning studio and fitness center. 

Jump out of your seat and make some noise at the 185,000-square-foot TD Bank Sports Center on the York Hill Campus, which hosts both men’s and women’s basketball and hockey teams in 2 separate arenas joined by a common lobby area. And it’s easy to be a fan on the Mount Carmel Campus, which houses the Quinnipiac Soccer & Lacrosse Stadium, Field Hockey Stadium, Rugby Field, Outdoor Tennis Facility, Burt Kahn Court, and baseball and softball fields.

Division I Athletics

Something to cheer about

Between the impressive performances of our three-time defending national champion women’s rugby team, our women’s basketball team’s trip to the Sweet 16, and recent Frozen Four appearances for the men’s ice hockey team — not to mention multiple conference titles for many of our teams — it’s never been a better time to be a member of #BobcatNation.

NCAA Division I athletics is an integral part of the Quinnipiac community, bringing together students, alumni and fans around the world. Student-athletes top their conferences in terms of GPA and wins on the court, ice and field — and give #BobcatNation something to be proud of.

It's also never been easier to keep up with Quinnipiac Bobcat athletics. All of our men's and women's basketball and ice hockey home games are broadcast on ESPN3, and all tickets to home games are free for current students.
