Athletic fields

Drew’s lighted all-weather polygrass field, Ranger Stadium, is home to the university’s soccer, lacrosse, and field hockey teams.  There are also indoor and outdoor tennis courts — the outdoor courts are lighted to tournament specifications and feature a gazebo for spectators.

Drew also has irrigated baseball, softball, and practice fields, as well as indoor tennis, volleyball, racquetball, and squash courts.

Zuck Arboretum

Inspired by the Berlin Philharmonic, this 433-seat hall is available for concerts or recitals, and increasingly in
