Description
[edit]Charles F. Berman Field is located along Tower Road across from Rice Hall. Measuring 118 yards by 74 yards, it is situated inside the William E. Simon running track.[1] The grass playing surface is a mix of 30 percent rye and 70 percent Kentucky bluegrass, which was chosen for its "adaptability to close mowing."[1]
Constructed in 2000, the 1,000 seat stadium is named in honor of former Cornell soccer player Charles F. Berman who was captain of the 1948 Cornell soccer team and a member of the Quill and Dagger society. Berman perished in an airplane crash in Jamaica en route to Colombia on January 21, 1960.[1]
