Robert T. Shields Field
Madison, United States
Robert T. Shields Field sits on the campus of Fairleigh Dickinson University in Madison, New Jersey, and its capacity of 1,000 spectators is in keeping with that. The artificial turf was part of a facility enhancement project completed in October 2020, though the field itself has been in use for decades. It hosts the FDU-Florham Devils teams for football, soccer, lacrosse, and field hockey, and also serves as a home for North Jersey FC. The venue is sometimes confused with Breese Stevens Field in Madison, Wisconsin, but they are distinct locations.
The capacity is a figure often cited in Wikipedia articles for the Millburn Magic and Jersey Blues FC, both of which play home games at the field. The venue is named after Robert Shields, the former athletics director of FDU, who established the football program in 1974. The official seating capacity is 1,000 spectators, as documented in Wikipedia articles for the Millburn Magic and Jersey Blues FC, both of which play home games at the field.
The field is primarily used for collegiate athletics and local soccer. The playing surface is artificial turf (full-synthetic), which was part of a facility enhancement project completed in October 2020, though the field itself has been in use for decades. The venue hosts FDU-Florham Devils teams (NCAA Division III, MAC Freedom conference) for football, soccer, lacrosse, and field hockey. It also serves as a home for North Jersey FC and has hosted events like the Rutgers Football Tri-State Showcase in 2016.
