Maxcy Hall

The SUNY Potsdam athletic facilities are centered around and within Maxcy Hall. The multi-million dollar facility was built in 1971 and has undergone several major revisions since then. It is considered one of the finest sports complexes in the country.

At the heart of Maxcy is the Bears’ 1,200- seat ice arena, as well as the Jerry Welsh Gymnasium, which seats 3,600 people. Maxcy also houses a natatorium with an Olympic-sized swimming pool/ diving well and a 33,000 square foot field house complete with an indoor track, basketball, volleyball, and indoor lacrosse courts. On the building’s third floor is the 8,000 square foot Shane T. Shaul Fitness Center.

Fifty acres of athletic fields surround Maxcy, including an all-weather artificial turf field. The turf field serves as the home for Bears soccer and lacrosse events.

Newly renovated Maxcy Hall is a modern facility that’s got it all, including these other features:

• 50-foot rock climbing wall, full high ropes course and bouldering cave
• 33,000 foot field house
• Six racquetball courts and three squash courts
• Dance studio
• Physical therapy/training room
