Hare Field, Sports stadium in Hillsboro, Oregon, US
Hare Field is a multi-sport complex in Hillsboro, Oregon, with Craig Ruecker Stadium for football and soccer, the Elden Kellar Track, and Ad Rutschman Baseball Stadium. The covered grandstand seats over 5,000, and the football field has an all-weather surface.
The William G. Hare Field opened in 1965 as a baseball stadium before hosting its first football game in September 1966 between Hillsboro and Gresham High Schools. The facility later became a primary venue for high school sports in the region.
The field serves as home ground for Hillsboro and Glencoe High School teams and hosts regular sports competitions that draw local crowds. Community members gather here for games and events that are central to the school sports calendar.
Hare Field sits east of Hillsboro High School, with the baseball stadium's south side holding ticket stands and paved parking. A jogging track loops around the whole complex. The annual Elden Kellar Invitational track meet and weekly summer all-comers meets are held here.
The 1998 AstroTurf installation was funded partly by a Coca-Cola sponsorship worth $1 million, part of a $3.5 million renovation; the company's logos sit in both end zones. The same surface made Hare Field Oregon's first all-weather high school football field, and it hosted OSAA state playoff games that year.
