The stadium is officially named "The Soccer/Lacrosse Stadium at Yurcak Field" in honor of Ronald N. Yurcak, a 1965 All-American Rutgers Lacrosse player.
Rutgers University hosts its home games at this stadium, as does Sky Blue FC in Women's Professional Soccer. It hosted the Division II & III NCAA Men's Lacrosse Championship games in 1998, 2001, and 2002. The stadium also hosted games for the New Jersey Pride of Major League Lacrosse from 2001 through 2008.
Famous quotes containing the word field:
“Mine was, as it were, the connecting link between wild and cultivated fields; as some states are civilized, and others half-civilized, and others savage or barbarous, so my field was, though not in a bad sense, a half-cultivated field. They were beans cheerfully returning to their wild and primitive state that I cultivated, and my hoe played the Ranz des Vaches for them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
