The Hofstra Men and Women’s Soccer Teams play at the Captains Field, located on the University’s north campus, adjacent to the Mack Physical Education Center. The field, formerly known as Hofstra Soccer Stadium, was renamed in 2024. Constructed in 2003, Captains Field features a 120-yard by 74-yard FieldTurf surface, a video board, stadium lighting, metal bleachers the length of the field, the Gorman Memorial Gateway and the Hofstra Soccer Walls of Honor. Each bench also features shelter.
The FieldTurf system, which was installed by Landtek of Amityville, New York, replicates a natural grass surface, but offers the durability and cost benefits of synthetic fields. FieldTurf is a safe alternative, resulting in a documented reduction of sports injuries. The sand and rubber infill system is the biggest technical development that the sport surfacing industry has seen in the last 25 years. This patented technology sets FieldTurf apart from all other sports surfaces.
The facility is lit with a system from the Iowa-based Musco Lighting Company. Musco is recognized as a world-class leader in sports lighting with lighting systems installed around the globe. A leader in developing sports-lighting technology – including solutions for permanent and temporary lighting, and sports facility management – Musco offers innovative systems, a comprehensive package of services, and decades of experience. The facility is also outfitted with a seating system from the Southern Bleacher Company of Graham, Texas
