Stadium

Emmitt Field at Holmes Stadium hosts games for Bucknell's men's and women's soccer teams. Located on campus, the natural grass pitch was completed in 2005 with the remainder of the lighted stadium and grandstand finished in 2007.

The stadium has an official seating capacity of 1,250 with additional seating on the grass hill behind the north endline. The pitch surface is sand-based Kentucky Blue grass and is 120 by 75 yards.

The field was dedicated as Bison Varsity Soccer Field on September 16, 2005, prior to Bucknell's 3-2 women's soccer victory over Marist. It has since played host to the Patriot League Men's Soccer Tournament in 2009 and the Patriot League women's soccer tournament in 2006, 2007 and 2016.

Holmes Stadium is named to honor the donation from Stephen P. Holmes '79, Chairman and CEO of Wyndham Worldwide and also includes Graham Field (field hockey and women's lacrosse). Emmitt Field was rededicated as such in 2008 in honor of lead donor Richard Emmitt '67, General Partner at The Vertical Group.
