Description
THE GREEN FIELD. Overlooking the Mediterranean on AUB’s lower campus is 16,000 m2 of a FIFA-certified football field and running track where AUB’s athletes and sports teams train and compete. The Green field is also a venue for intramural and interscholastic matches, and local, regional, and international tournaments. It was stablished in 1926-27 and by 1929, it hosted students from 29 nationalities from Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas, and 11 schools participated in interscholastic football and basketball matches at AUB that year. The field was established through a $15,000 donation by Mr. V. Everit Macy from New York and overhauled in the 1990s along with several buildings after the war. It was upgraded to become part of the Charles Hostler Student Center in May 2008. The Green Field became the official venue for commencement (1957-1976 and 1990 onward). It also hosts annual events such as the Field Day on the tracks (a tradition since February 21, 1896 on upper campus) and the Big Games (a tradition of inter-faculty matches in various sports held since 1889).
