The Miami Field Hockey Complex is one of the finest field hockey facilities in the country.
Located adjacent to Yager Stadium (football), the field underwent extensive renovations in 2018-19 after also being remodeled in 2006. In 2018-19, new bench areas were installed with individual seating and rain shields. Banners with program and athlete accomplishments were added at both ends of the field. A new locker room was also unveiled. In 2006, the field was outfitted with new state-of-the-art turf, lined strictly for field hockey. It features a sport lighting system that allows the RedHawks to play many of their home contests in the evening. The field is equipped with a high-tech watering system comprised of six water cannons capable of emitting 650 gallons per minute and soaking the field in under five minutes.
The field hockey complex has an internal fence that frames the playing field and assists in keeping play moving, while limiting the need to wait for a new ball to be put in play. The press box, with seating for 15, sits between the team benches and includes a video platform on the roof, which will give both teams an excellent vantage point for their scouting videos. The bench areas themselves are enclosed, providing players with protection from the elements when not on the playing surface. The field is equipped with a state-of-the-art video referral system, with three permanent cameras showing all angles of the field and a port for a fourth camera.
On the opposite side of the field from the press box and bench areas there is seating for approximately 1,000.
The facility was the site of the MAC Tournament in 2007, 2012, 2013, 2018, 2019, 2021 and 2022. It also hosted an NCAA Tournament opening-round game in November 2021.Â
