Built in 1997 at a cost of $3.5 million, Lakeside Field is one of the premier venus for field hockey in the United States. Located on the beautiful shores of Lake Michigan, with the world famous Chicago Skyline serving as a panoramic backdrop, the complex includes an artificial turf playing field lined specifically for field hockey, permanent seating for approximately 300 fans, a new sound system, a permanent scoreboard, lighting for night games, and extensive landscaping.
The installment of the complex on the north end of Northwestern's main campus brings varsity women's sports closer to where the students live and has attracted additional fans to the team's games. On a sunny day in the fall, the stands are packed to beyond capacity with fans spilling over onto the sidelines.
Northwestern field hockey is proud to call Lakeside Field "home" as it truly is one of the best and most picturesque facilities in the country.
