Field
The stadium features an artificial FieldTurf field installed in 2006. McMahon Stadium installed its first AstroTurf artificial playing surface in 1975 amid concerns that the original grass pitch would not withstand an intended increase in use of the stadium facilities by professional, amateur and recreational teams.
The new Field Turf surface is hoped to attract a wider variety of events to the stadium including future international soccer matches.
