Clemente Field

The 120,000 square football field was named in honor of the legendary Hall of Fame baseball player and humanitarian. In 2009, Emmanuel College and the Yawkey Foundation, in partnership with the city of Boston, contributed $4 million to restore the historic, city-owned Roberto Clemente Field, an important community athletic resource in the Back Bay Fens, across the street from Emmanuel's campus. This complex now features an NCAA-regulation synthetic turf field, which accommodates regulation softball, soccer and lacrosse, and  serves as the practice field for Boston Latin School’s football team. The rubberized track  remains open to the public for recreational walking and jogging year-round.
