Completed just before the start of the 2005 fall season, GoValiants.com Field is one of the top outdoor facilities in the Northeast, and home to the Manhattanville soccer, field hockey and lacrosse programs.

Surrounded by a new lighting system, scoreboard, press box and bleacher-style seating, GoValiants.com Field is made up of state-of-the-art Field Turf, a technology that emulates the stability and resilience of natural grass without the obvious maintenance.  The field’s durability and elaborate drainage system allow the Valiants to play in all kinds of weather and allows all 18 Manhattanville teams to make use of the program for training, practice and games.

The field itself measures 120 x 72 yards and the four light poles – each 90-feet high – let the Valiants play under the lights several times each year, something few other Division III programs can do.  In the fall of 2007 alone, the Valiants will play seven times in the evening, allowing families, students and fans to gather along the far side of the field and enjoy the action in prime time.

The press box at GoValiants.com Field is also state-of-the-art, wired for Internet and phone access, allowing for live audio and video broadcasts of Valiant athletics, along with the use of CSTV’s exclusive Gametracker software.  There are also ample electrical outlets and a photography bay above the press box for use by media and coaches.  A high-powered sound system is also housed in the press box.

            
The first match held at GoValiants.com Field in the Fall of 2005 was a men’s soccer match against New Jersey power William Paterson.  While the Valiants fell short in that outing, 2-1 in overtime, the home team went on to win six of the final eight matches at GoValiants.com Field in 2005 en route to a berth in the ECAC Metro Trounament.  Manhattanville’s first win at GoValiants.com Field came courtesy of the women’s soccer team, which defeated the SUNY Institute of Technology, 2-0 during the Valiant Cup, September 3, 2005.

 
Adjacent to the GoValiants.com turf field is another new outdoor athletic facility.  Manhattanville’s outdoor grass field.  The regulation size grass field was rebuilt in 2005 and also plays host to several soccer and field hockey contests during the year.
