Suprenant Field is the soccer facility on the campus of Western New England College in Springfield, Massachusetts. The facility serves as the home field for Western New England College’s men’s and women’s soccer teams.
The field hockey team played its events on a grass surface at Suprenant Field prior to the construction of Golden Bear Stadium in 2002. In the fall of 2006, alumni donated funds to pay for bench shelters for Suprenant Field.[1] The facility underwent a major renovation in the summer of 2007 adding a new scoreboard, fence, and bleacher seating.
