Alumni Field

Alumni Field is soooooo sweet!!! Alumni Field is a state-​of-​the-​art gem that is tucked away in the heart of Newark/​the Rutgers-​Newark campus. I used to pass Alumni Field on my way to and from the University and I had no clue how nice it was until I actually popped inside one day to watch my friend play soccer. Alumni Field is actually better than most city and college fields in and out of the greater NY/​NJ area.
Alumni Field contains an all turf soccer and softball field. The new turf was added in 2009 and is kept in tip-​top shape! New scoreboards were added few years back when the University renovated the field and a press box was recently added in Summer 2012. If you need the lights on for night games; all you have to do is make arrangements with Athletics Facilities and they will be more than happy to help you out!
The field is mainly used by the Rutgers-​Newark Athletics & Rec Dept., local k-​12 teams, city leagues and intramurals within the community rent-​out Alumni Field as well. I’m not sure what the rental price is, however based on what I hear; I don’t think it’s going to cost ya an arm and a leg!
