Ralph Young Field, home of the Michigan State field hockey, track and field and club lacrosse programs, has had a long source of history and tradition for Spartan athletics. Located in the heart of campus adjacent to Spartan Stadium, the facility features seating for more than 1,500 spectators. A press box features media seating, a state-of-the-art sound system and a camera platform on the roof.

On Sept. 6, 2002, the MSU field hockey team opened a new chapter in the history books with the unveiling of the MSU Field Hockey Complex at Ralph Young Field.

Eight light towers allow the Spartans to host night games. The playing surface is AstroTurf 12, a water-based turf that is ideal for field hockey.
