UMass City Guide

Everything here orbits the Football Performance Center and McGuirk Alumni Stadium on Stadium Drive — a 55,000 sq ft hub with strength, sports-medicine, and plunge-pool facilities. In a college town this compact, your home, recovery, and dining are all a short drive from the building where you train and play.
