ELLEN VAGELOS C'90 FIELD

Ellen Vagelos C'90 Field was opened in September 2013 and is the home of the University of Pennsylvania field hockey team. The facility sits in the middle of the main River Fields complex, with Rhodes Field to the north and the Mondschein Throwing Complex to the South. The Astro Turf venue features a watering system that makes the field ideal for field hockey. Two expanded dugouts serve as the bench areas for the home and visiting squads. An additional mezzanine sits between the benches, providing space for statisticians, scoreboard and videoboard operators, game announcers, officials, and a broadcast crew. Opposite the team benches is elevated spectator seating for approximately 500 fans. The northwest corner of the field includes a rotating videoboard that is shared between Vagelos and Rhodes Fields. New artificial turf was installed for the 2023 season.

The facility was named after former Penn Field Hockey student-athlete and Penn Athletics Hall of Famer, Ellen Vagelos C’90.
