Georgetown Hoyas (NCAA) (1956–2002) |
Kehoe Field is the name of two fields that served as the home of the Georgetown Hoyas intramural sports and varsity athletics teams, including several seasons of Hoyas football, since the 1950s. They occupied the same site, successively, on the Georgetown University campus in Washington, D.C.
The original Kehoe Field was a grass-surfaced stadium designed for American football and soccer, and was open from 1956 to 1976. After a two-year construction project, the second Kehoe Field opened on the same site, as an artificial-surface stadium on the roof of Yates Field House. After the departure of varsity athletics in 2002, the second Kehoe Field remained open for intramural sports and recreation.
Kehoe Field was named after the Rev. John J. Kehoe, Georgetown's athletic director from 1932 to 1944. Kehoe, who later led the faculty of Fordham University, died in July 1955.
