The stadium includes three press boxes, a state-of-the-art sound system, visitor and home locker rooms, laundry facilities, a sports medicine facility, and a fully equipped concession stand.

Pace Academy was founded in Atlanta 1958 by an interfaith group of local community leaders. They envisioned a community open to fresh ideas and debate in the great liberal arts tradition. The school was incorporated on June 30, 1958, with an initial enrollment of 178 students, for the purpose of “training and educating children and operating a school and kindergarten.” Pace Academy is situated on 37 acres in Atlanta’s Buckhead neighborhood. The school’s landmark building, the Castle, was constructed as a private residence in 1932 for the Ogden family.
