FREDERICK DOUGLASS FIELD

Frederick Douglass Field is the home of Rutgers University-Newark's men's and women's soccer programs.

The brand new artificial turf field was completed in September 2019 with state-of-the-art Coolplay which is a top dressing to deliver the same behavior and overall stability as FieldTurf's Elite system fields found in the world's most famous stadiums. Coolplay keeps the FieldTurf 20 degrees cooler than regular FieldTurf to allow more efficient training and higher level play during games.

FieldTurf compared to natural grass leads to 33% fewer concussions, 25% fewer total injuries, 47% fewer substantial injuries, 15% fewer injuries due to player-to-surface collisions and 23% less time lost to injuries.
