WELCOME TO SMITH FIELD

HOME OF MARIAN SOCCER

Smith Field turf
Smith Field overhead

The soccer field at Smith Fields had its first game played on it in the fall of 2002. The field was natural grass until turf was installed for the complex in the summer of 2019. The players are guarded against the weather by plexiglass dugouts and team rooms to meet in prior to a match and during the halftime interval. The field is lit to allow for night games. 

The field has a press box, state-of-the-art sound system, and a customized scoreboard. The building at Smith Fields houses a full-service concession stand, men and women restrooms, team rooms, and a ticket booth. The second floor of the "clubhouse" has the press box and a "skybox" or meeting room that seats approximately 30 people.
