The team moved to a new baseball stadium, on nearby Brighton Campus, in spring 2018. Boston College's new Athletics Field House, an indoor practice facility for football and other varsity and intramural sports, is currently being constructed on the site of the former Shea Field. It is expected to open in August 2018. (en)
