Kehoe Field

The original Kehoe Field was a grass-surfaced stadium designed for American football and soccer, and was open from 1956 to 1976.

After the departure of varsity athletics in 2002, the second Kehoe Field remained open for intramural sports and recreation.

Instead, the first game came a year later, when the Hoyas faced a club team from New York University, also playing its first intercollegiate matchup in decades, on November 21, 1964.

[2] In the following years, Kehoe continued to serve as the home of Georgetown's club football team—a student-led organization that played a limited slate of games against other colleges.

Starting in 1970, Kehoe again hosted varsity football, as the Hoyas moved up from a student club to a full NCAA Division III program.

The rooftop playing surface, which retained the name Kehoe Field, was ready in time for the 1979 season.

[4] During the construction, the Hoyas played their 1977 and 1978 home football games in the outfield of the baseball field,[5] in a natural bowl on the present-day site of the Georgetown business school's Rafik B. Hariri Building.

[9] The Hoyas were forced to move most of their scheduled home games of the 1990 season to opponents' sites, as the university struggled to repair bubbling and cracking in the surrounding running track.
