Busch Field is a stadium on the campus of the College of William and Mary located in Williamsburg, Virginia. It is currently used by the college's field hockey team for home games, as well as many intramural and club sport contests. There are two fields in the designated "Busch Field" area. One is composed of artificial turf while the other is entirely natural grass. The name for the stadium comes from Anheuser-Busch, the beer company. Anheuser has a brewery in Williamsburg and donated enough money to the College to have the field named after them. Adjacent to Busch Field are the Busch Tennis Courts, also sponsored by the company.
Busch Field was, at one time, home to the school's soccer and lacrosse programs before those teams moved to the newly constructed Albert-Daly Field in 2004. The field has two sister stadiums: the Coffey Stadium, located in Fairfax, VA, and the Dragon Stadium, located in Southlake, TX.
