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 completed in spring 2017 and the first home match was played in the fall of that year. 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 remote-controlled lights, a scoreboard, and an enclosed press box were also installed. 

The soccer field's construction was part of a larger $6.2 million project at Trinity called "Fields of Excellence." The goal of the project was to relocate and build new [[athletics|softball, soccer, and baseball]] fields. The new fields were dedicated on April 1, 2017.
