Amos Alonzo Stagg Field at Nicholas A. Lopardo Stadium
The 3,500-seat football and track & field stadium is named
for former SU football player Nicholas A. Lopardo '68, former chair
of the university's Board of Directors and a member of the SU
Sports Hall of Fame. It replaced the former site of Amos Alonzo
Stagg Field, which had hosted SU home games for the past 100
years.
The state-of-the-art ProGrass playing surface of Lopardo Stadium
has retained the familiar Stagg Field designation, while the
installation of lights prior to the 2002 season permitted teams to
play on-campus night games for the first time in program
history.
A video display board on the west end of the stadium, in operation
for the first time for the 2008-09 academic year, is a
state-of-the-art piece of equipment that very few NCAA Division II
or III schools in the country can duplicate.
Adjacent to Lopardo Stadium is Douglas Arthur '49 Field, which
features a natural grass surface for practice space.
The running track is eight lanes wide and was completely resurfaced in the summer of 2010.
