Rocco B. Commisso Soccer Stadium at Columbia University
BRONX, NEW YORK (PRWEB) October 01, 2014
Mount St. Michael Academy and Cardinal Spellman High School today announced the schools’ varsity boys squads will meet in the first-ever high school soccer match at the recently named Rocco B. Commisso Soccer Stadium at Columbia University’s Baker Athletics Complex.
The game between the Mount and Spellman will take place on Thursday, October 16th, 2014, at 5:30pm. Admission to this historic contest between these traditional Catholic school rivals is free, and alumni of both high schools are encouraged to attend. Parking will be available outside the Baker Athletics Complex, but public transportation is encouraged.
Optimum TV subscribers will be able to watch a live high-definition presentation of the game online at MSGVarsity.com and on the iOS MSG Varsity app. In addition, on-demand replays will be available on those digital platforms immediately following the event, and 48 hours after the game on Optimum TV channel 614.
The soccer venue at Baker Athletics Complex is located at the corner of West 218th Street and Broadway. This 3,500 seat stadium is named in honor of Rocco B. Commisso, founder, Chairman and CEO of Mediacom Communications Corporation and 1967 graduate of the Mount. A three-time All-Ivy League honoree during his playing days at Columbia, Commisso has been an active supporter of the university’s men’s soccer program for over 40 years. Recently, he endowed the Rocco B. Commisso American Dream Scholarship Fund at Mount St. Michael Academy.
