Assumption High School is excited to share news of St. Ambrose University’s planned $6 million investment in a new baseball complex at the St. Vincent Athletic Complex. This development marks another important milestone in the longstanding partnership between the two Catholic institutions and their shared commitment to providing outstanding opportunities for student-athletes.
The planned complex will provide a new home for St. Ambrose baseball while also supporting Assumption High School student-athletes. The investment represents the next phase of development at the St. Vincent Athletic Complex, which has grown through collaboration between the two Catholic institutions.
“This investment continues a partnership that has created meaningful opportunities for student-athletes at both St. Ambrose and Assumption,” said Amy C. Novak, EdD, president of St. Ambrose University. “The growth of the St. Vincent Athletic Complex reflects our commitment to providing students with exceptional experiences that support their development in competition, in the classroom and as members of our community. We are pleased to take this next step together and continue investing in a place that serves Catholic education and student-athletes across the Quad Cities.”
Assumption and St. Ambrose previously partnered on the development of athletic facilities at St. Vincent, including Jack and Pat Bush Stadium. The shared stadium opened for Assumption football in 2021 and became the home of St. Ambrose football in 2023. The broader St. Vincent Athletic Complex also supports multiple athletic programs, including soccer, softball, lacrosse, and track and field.
“Our partnership with St. Ambrose has created tremendous opportunities for Assumption students and has been an important part of the growth of our athletic facilities,” said Bridget Murphy, principal of Assumption High School. “We are grateful for St. Ambrose University’s continued investment in the St. Vincent Athletic Complex. This new baseball complex represents another exciting step forward in our partnership and our shared commitment to giving students outstanding opportunities to learn, compete and grow.”
Additional details about the baseball complex, including construction timing and facility specifications, will be announced as plans are finalized.
