Marsha Dodson Field Emergency Action Plan

In the summer of 2008, the Cornell University Department of Athletics made a major commitment to the Big Red field hockey program with the construction of Marsha Dodson Field, a new AstroTurf stadium. Construction of the field began in early July on alumni fields behind Bartels Hall and was completed in time for the beginning of the 2008 season.

Besides the installation of the AstroTurf, the preferred surface for NCAA Division I play, a permanent scoreboard was installed, as well as a set of portable bleachers and a portable scorer's table. The stadium provides an intimate setting for fans of the Big Red, as it seats approximately 300 spectators.

The stadium also features a state-of-the-art sprinkler and drainage system which will allow the field to be watered for all training and competition.
