History
Renovations
A new AstroTurf playing surface was installed prior to the 2010 football season.[2]
In May 2014, construction began on renovations to D.B. Milne Field. Upgrades to the facility included a 2,500 seat grandstand and a state-of-the-art press box. Other renovations included a new concessions area with additional bathrooms and field accommodations for lacrosse, track and intramurals. With the scheduled upgrades, more lights were added around the stadium, as well as the installation of a new scoreboard.[3][4]
