Bill Alfond Field
Facilities/Directions
Bill Alfond Field opened in August 2017, and it serves as the venue for the field hockey and women's lacrosse teams during home contests. It is situated at the northeast corner of campus between Serdjenian Field (soccer) and the Baseball and Softball Complex.
The synthetic turf surface offers the Colby Mules the opportunity to accommodate early spring games, as well as competition during inclement weather. Other varsity programs, as well as club and intramural programs, are also able to benefit from the year-round access to Bill Alfond Field. Additional features include lights for night games and practices, an LED scoreboard, stadium seating built into the surrounding berm, and a new press box.
