Dumke Field
Dumke Field, on the site of the Dane Hansen Stadium, was opened October 2, 1949, by college president Robert D. Steele (1939 to 1952). It was a gift of the George Hansen family in memory of a son and brother, Lt. Dane Hansen, Class of 1940, who lost his life in World War II. Having had seating for 1,200 attendants, the stadium has been the college football, soccer and activities field, commencement green, and later paved parking facility. In Fall 2005, it was transformed into a two-level parking structure, with an elevated artificial turf athletic field rebuilt on top. This facility is now the home field for the Griffins men’s and women’s soccer and men’s and women's lacrosse teams. The facility has a seating capacity for 1,700 spectators.
The most recent upgrade includes new Musco LED lighting fixtures installed in September 2020 made possible by generous donors of the college. In June 2018 the college completed the installation of new replacement artificial turf on Dumke Field. The new surface, FieldTurf Core with CoolPlay infield, replaced the original artificial surface that was installed in 2006. Both upgrades include top of the line products in terms of quality further the enhancing the competitive and recreational opportunities for Westminster students. Â
