The Class of 1952 Stadium is home to Princeton University's women's and men's lacrosse and field hockey teams. The stadium is lighted and fits approximately 4,000.[1]

The stadium was originally dedicated on October 14, 1995.[2]

The field's original astro turf was replaced with a new synthetic turf called FieldTurf in 2012 as part of a renovation that included the naming of the physical field as Sherrerd Field.[3][4][5]

The stadium was the home for 34 Ivy League championships and six NCAA championships.[6]
