Rockwell Field, Athletic field in Kent, United States
The field contains wooden bleachers along both sidelines with a capacity of 3,000 spectators and features a running track surrounding the main playing surface.
David Ladd Rockwell, who secured the establishment of Kent State Normal School, gave his name to this field which opened in 1920.
The location transformed from an athletic venue to a central gathering space known as the Commons, marking significant changes in campus social dynamics.
The field maintains its position as a recreational area within Kent State University campus, providing space for student activities and community events.
The field earned National Historic Landmark status in 2017 due to its connection to the Kent State protests and subsequent events of 1970.
