J.S. Coyne Field
New Blue Surface at J.S. Coyne Stadium
Home to the field hockey Orange is J.S. Coyne Stadium, the largest outdoor sports facility on the Syracuse University campus. Coyne Stadium received another face-lift in Summer 2026, highlighted by a sneak peak at the playing surface for the 2028 Olympic Summer Games in Los Angeles.

For the first time in program history, the Orange will play on an all-blue surface at their home venue. Officially called "Oligras LA Blue, the new AstroTurf surface features CoolPlus technology and Turf Glide to reduce friction and water requirements. Now one of just eight blue AstroTurf fields in Division I, the new surface uses more than 70-percent sugar cane-based material. AstroTurf installed a prototype surface at J.S. Coyne Stadium for the upcoming Olympic Summer Games in Los Angeles in 2028. This product continues the development program that began with the Olympic Summer Games in Tokyo (2020).

Prior to the 2026 upgrade, the 2015 NCAA Champions made a multitude of upgrades to J.S. Coyne Stadium prior to the 2016 season, first beginning with the turf. Installed by GreenFields, that surface was the same field that was installed at the 2014 Hockey World Cup in The Hague, Netherlands. It is a synthetic system developed in collaboration with the global textiles technology specialist TenCate and leading field hockey players that was ranked No. 1 by FIH during the selection process for the official World Cup turf.

The arena constructed between April 1979 and September 1980 for $26.85 million, including $2.75 million naming gift from Carrier Corporation. The building seats 33,633 for basketball games and during the summer of 2003 got a face lift with the installation of two Daktronics LED video boards. In the summer of 2005, the Dome’s Astroturf, which had covered the floor for 25 years was replaced with a brand new FieldTurf Pro series brand artificial surface.

John A. Lally Athletics Complex

Also home to the Orange is the John A. Lally Athletics Complex. The 9,500 seat arena and its adjoining wings serve as the headquarters for the SU Athletic Department. The complex houses athletic and administrative offices, as well as academic support offices, study facilities, locker rooms, the sports medicine complex and an extensively equipped weight room. During the summer of 1995 the Roy Simmons Coaches Wing was added onto the front of the building, while the former coaches’ office space was converted into an expansive student-athlete support services area (the Stevenson Educational Center), and offices for the Office of Athletic Compliance. This area also accommodates student-athletes’ needs for computer clusters and individual study rooms. During the indoor season, the Orange practice on the removable synthetic turf from Sportexe which was installed in Manley Field House in January of 2008. The turf consists of 16 individual pieces. Each piece, which comes in a roll, is 15 feet wide. When all 16 pieces are unfurled, the turf measures 70 yards in length, and, at its widest point, measures 60 yards or the width of a regular-size football field.
