Weston Field is adjacent to Christmas Brook that drains more than 640 acres of higher ground located to the southwest of downtown Williamstown.

A thick, impervious layer of clay beneath Weston Field keeps the groundwater close to the surface during any wet period.

Former Williams College football coach, Dick Farley, reflecting on Weston's history recalled a memorable game in 1995.

The Williams versus Amherst game, televised by ESPN, was played in a quagmire; neither side was able to achieve significant yardage resulting in a 0–0 tie.
