Newman Stadium & Baierl Center
NASH also is a hub for North Allegheny Athletics. It is located right next to Carl A. Newman Stadium, which houses numerous sports, with football being its main attraction, as the North Allegheny Varsity Football team plays all home games there during their fall sports season. Newman Stadium began construction in 1997 and was completed in 1999, and was named after Carl A. Newman, a former North Allegheny superintendent and the main contributor to the stadium.
Next to Newman Stadium is the Baierl Center, which is a fitness center for North Allegheny Athletics and also has two gyms for cheerleading and practice squads, with one large track on the upper level. The Baierl Center includes a weight room, an activity room, an exercise center, and a track. It is open free of charge to North Allegheny Athletics and also is available to district residents for a membership fee. The center is a 48,000-square-foot (4,500 m2) building that was available for public use since 2002 and expanded in 2004, opening a room solely for indoor biking.
