Youngman Field at Alumni Stadium is a 3,500-capacity multi-use stadium in Middlebury, Vermont on the campus of the NCAA Division III-affiliated Middlebury College. Opened in 1991, it serves as home to the school's football and lacrosse teams.[1][2]
[edit] Seven year lacrosse home winning streak
Youngman Field was host to a 45 game winning streak by the Middlebury men's lacrosse team that began in April 1997 and ran until the NCAA Division III Semi-finals in March of 2004.[3]
[edit] The Middlebury Panther
The entrance of Alumni Stadium is overlooked by the bronze The Middlebury Panther sculpture commissioned from the American sculptor Lorenzo Ghiglieri in 1997.[4] The base for the sculpture is a glacial boulder that is purported to be the largest single piece of stone in Vermont to have been moved since the end of the Ice Age.[5]
