 ====== Trinity Soccer Field ======
-Trinity's soccer field is located in the middle of campus, in between the [[jessee_miller_football_field_and_track|Jessee/Miller Field]] and the [[assaiante_paul_d._tennis_center|Paul D. Assaiante Tennis Center]]. The field was constructed in 2017 and the first home game played on it occurred the following year, in 2018. It measures 245' x 390' and has a bleacher system that allows for 350 spectators. The field is planted with Kentucky Bluegrass--a sand-based grass--which, when paired with the underdrainage and irrigation systems in place, permits games to be played in rainy weather. New lights and a scoreboard were also installed along with the field's construction.

-The soccer field's construction was part of a larger project at Trinity called "Fields of Excellence." The goal of the project was to build new softball, soccer, and baseball fields. Funding for the project was around $6.2 million, with roughly $4.5 million allocated for renovations to the Jessee/Miller Field as another part of the project.
