Hart Turf Field & Hart Track
Home to the Holy Cross field hockey and outdoor track teams, the Hart Turf Field and Hart Track are the highest volume playing surfaces on campus.
Surrounded by an eight-lane running track, the turf field is currently one of four lighted playing surfaces at Holy Cross.
Both the turf field and the track were replaced in the summer of 2022. The renovations entailed the resurfacing of both the track and field, as well as the installation of a state-of-the-art irrigation system. The track will be resurfaced with Rekortan Advance Polymer Surface, and the turf will be replaced with the new AstroTurf12 system.
The irrigation system includes six high-pressure water cannons to cover the game field, reducing the amount of water previously used to irrigate the surface by almost 50 percent.
The field consists of AstroTurf on Elastic Layer, while the track has a Beynon Sports Surface BSS 1000 Full Pour Embedded Surface.
A new scoreboard was installed in 2003, and new spectator stands were built behind the benches on the turf field in 2005. A press box which is shared with the adjacent soccer field was added in 2005.
