Chapey Field at Anderson Stadium, College sports stadium in Providence, Rhode Island, United States.
Chapey Field at Anderson Stadium is a sports venue on the Providence College campus with seating capacity for about 3000 spectators. It features an artificial playing surface, up-to-date locker facilities for both teams, and professional press areas equipped with two premium viewing boxes.
Chapey Field at Anderson Stadium was built in 2015–2016 under president Rev. Brian Shanley, O.P. and athletic director Bob Driscoll. In April 2014 Mike and Maura Chapey, both class of 1986, gave $1 million, and in December 2014 trustee Karl Anderson '88 and his wife Kerry pledged $1.5 million, enabling construction. It replaced the women's softball stadium, student parking and college tennis courts.
The field is named for Mike and Maura Chapey, both Providence College graduates of the class of 1986, whose $1 million gift in April 2014 was the largest from an individual outside the board of trustees in the athletics department's history. The stadium carries the name of trustee Karl Anderson '88 and his wife Kerry '88, who pledged $1.5 million in December 2014.
The facility is located on Huxley Avenue within the campus and provides all necessary amenities for spectators and teams. Visitors should arrive early to find convenient parking and familiarize themselves with the layout, as electronic payment is the main payment method used throughout the venue.
The field sits on ground that once held the women's softball stadium, a student parking lot and the college tennis courts. The soccer team previously played at Glay Field, now the women's softball home, and lacrosse at Lennon Family Field, now used by field hockey.
