Jessee/Miller Field, College sports field at Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut
Jessee/Miller Field is a college sports facility with a 400-meter running track on the Trinity College campus in Hartford. The stadium provides seating and is surfaced with artificial turf that replaced the original grass many years ago.
This field was established around 1900 and ranks among the oldest college football fields in the United States. It received its current name in 1999 in honor of two coaches who had led their teams there.
The field carries the names of two coaches and serves as the center of student athletics for the college. Today it functions as the main home for the football and men's lacrosse programs where fans gather to watch matches.
The field is open during the sports season with public access on game days for visitors with tickets. It is best to arrive early as parking fills quickly and the walk from parking areas to the stadium can take some time.
Two legendary coaches whose names adorn the field led their teams to a combined total of more than 300 victories. Their lengthy tenures left a lasting impact on how this place is remembered in college sports.
