Burdick Field 1 (East Field-Large Field)
Installed in the Fall of 2014, Burdick Field East is a state of the art synthetic turf field, large enough for a regulation sized football, soccer or lacrosse competition, or could be split in two, for smaller games or to do drills. Its brand new drainage system and lights allow for year round use, rain or shine. It’s perfect for larger teams to practice because of the ability to split the field in two (53’x80’, 53’x100’) for practice and skills training, then come together for a full on regulation game. Used year round by intramurals, Burdick Field East is perfect for any outdoor activity.
