PRACTICE FIELDS

The practice fields on the Western Avenue side of campus were renovated in June 1996 with 263,000 square feet of two-inch thick athletic sod.  The irrigation system was refurbished, and the area was surrounded with a 3,100 foot chain-link fence.  Field lines are painted as needed and customizable to accommodate multiple lacrosse, soccer or football fields.

The practice fields also served as the summer home to the New York Football Giants, who held their NFL summer training camp at UAlbany from 1996-2012.

The practice fields are available to rent to non-commercial entities for an hourly rate.
