Pennington Field is home to the L.D. Bell Blue Raiders and the Trinity Trojans football teams. As a former Blue Raider I spent many Friday nights on Pennington Field waging war with the opposing team. The stadium opened in 1987 and would host not only football games but soccer matches and other special events. One interesting thing about Pennington Field is that it does not have a track around the field. As a result the stands are that much closer to the field making the spectators’ experience more intimate.
