Cooper Field, Washington D.C.

Cooper Field is a versatile multi-purpose stadium with a seating capacity of 4,418. Originally known as Harbin Field, it was primarily used for intramural sports before being adapted for soccer in 1994. The field underwent several name changes, becoming Multi-Sport Field in 2003 to reflect its use by the university's football team. In 2015, it was renamed Cooper Field following a substantial $50 million donation from Georgetown football parents Peter and Susan Cooper. This gift was instrumental in funding athletic leadership programs at Georgetown and upgrading the field's facilities.

Cooper Field serves as the home venue for several of Georgetown鈥檚 athletic teams, including the Hoyas football team, men's and women's lacrosse teams, and the women's field hockey team. Additionally, the Georgetown University Rugby Football Club also plays its home games there. The field has even hosted professional sports, with the Washington Bayhawks of Major League Lacrosse using it for most of their 2007 season games. This broad usage underscores Cooper Field's importance to Georgetown鈥檚 athletic community.

In early 2009, lights were installed on the field, enhancing its utility for evening games and practices. The playing surface is made of FieldTurf, an artificial turf known for its durability and low maintenance requirements. These upgrades have made Cooper Field a modern and adaptable facility that supports a wide range of sports and activities, benefiting both the university鈥檚 athletic programs and its student-athletes.
