Football, Field Hockey, Men's and Women's Soccer and Lacrosse play its home games on Bob Boozer Field (women part time). With seating for 11,000 fans, it is one of the largest on-campus Division III football facilities in the country. It features A-Turf field, a newly installed speaker system, a display scoreboard, bleacher seating along both sidelines and a state-of-the art press box.
The stadium, formerly known as Special Olympics Stadium, was renamed during a special halftime ceremony during Brockport’s 2010 Homecoming contest against The College of New Jersey. It was rededicated in honor of Mrs. Kennedy Shriver, who was instrumental in creating the Special Olympics. Mrs. Kennedy Shriver was also influential in bringing the Fifth International Special Olympics Summer Games, which drew more than 3,500 athletes from across the country and the world, to Brockport for the competition, Aug. 8-13, 1979.
Repairs were made to the facility in September of 1998 after a wind-storm severely damaged the complex. During the mid-2000’s, Brockport’s football team qualified for the NCAA playoffs every year from 2000 to 2003. The Golden Eagles set a new school-record in attendance on Sept. 20, 2014 at football's Courage Bowl when Brockport faced St. John Fisher as more than 9,300 fans attended the event.
