DU Turf Field
The completion of the Student Center also brought the brand new addition of the Turf Field, which sits just to the south of the building. The Panthers lacrosse teams call the field home.

The men's team played the very next day, November 22, also against Cornerstone and battled the Golden Eagles to a 1-1 tie. Davenport claimed its first win on the new field on November 25 when they shutout Indiana Tech 4-0.
The men's lacrosse team won their first game at home on March 21, 2009, as they defeated Miami (OH) by a score of 14-9. The women's lacrosse team opened up the turf field with an 11-2 win over Western Michigan University.
