Queens College Track & Soccer Field — Attraction in New York

One thing that can definitely be said about this and much of the other outdoor athletic facilities at Queens College, and that is thanks to a concerted effort in recent decades to upgrade the athletic fields, this is one field that has seen as a huge improvement over what used to be. About thirty years ago this field, used by both soccer and lacrosse, was a bumpy, pit filled, rock strewn, mixture of sparse grass, soil, dust, and mud, conglomerating into one giant slosh pit. It also had a very definitive uphill downhill slant to it. Now, the field has been leveled even, field turf has been installed, a nicely surfaced track encompasses the field, and a large set of permanent stands have been put in.

Also, more readily available restrooms could be used here. But all told, it's a nice facility for fans to enjoy...
