beyer-small '76 field: our sanctuary
The facility is named for two Colgate Hall of Honor members. John Beyer is the retired longtime men’s and women’s soccer head coach, while Barry Small ’76 is a former soccer and baseball student-athlete who served as a University Trustee. Located between Crown Field at Andy Kerr Stadium and Tyler’s Field, Beyer-Small '76 Field pays tribute to the life-changing connections that can develop between student-athletes and coaches.
The field features TV-standard lighting; a fully functioning press box with rooftop camera deck; home and visiting team rooms; public restrooms; seating for 1,300 fans; and a FIFA 2-certified FieldTurf playing surface that is approved for use in World Cup qualifying matches. The university’s 9/11 Memorial, originally dedicated Sept. 13, 2003, at Van Doren Field, was relocated to the new facility.
