H.J. McCooey
Memorial Field
Home of the 2007 NCAA Division III Women's Lacrosse Championship, H.J. McCooey Memorial Field is a 1,500-seat artificial turf stadium. The facility was made possible by a lead naming gift from the family of Herbert J. McCooey Sr., a former Wall Street broker who sent five of his seven children to the Colleges.
The state-of-the-art AstroTurf 12 surface was completed during the fall of 2000. The Hobart-Army lacrosse game on March 10, 2001 (an 11-9 Hobart win), was the first intercollegiate game on the new surface. The $1.8 million facility includes lights and a press box. The stadium is the home of the William Smith field hockey and lacrosse teams, is a "prime-time" second home for the Hobart lacrosse team, and is an alternate site for the rest of the Colleges' athletic teams.
The Hobart and William Smith Colleges athletics Web sites are maintained by the Office of Athletic Communications. With questions concerning athletics events, and other site
