Arold Field

Fieldhouse Rd.
Holderness, NH 03245

The field directly in front of the PE Center is Paul E. Arold Field, the home of PSU's men's and women's soccer. Arold Field features permanent bleachers, an LED scoreboard, a public address system and multi-tiered press box. The enclosed field is large enough to have an adjacent practice area.

The field is named after Paul E. Arold '63, who coached football and wrestling at Plymouth State and made many vital contributions to the campus community during his tenure as a student, alumnus and staff member. Arold is credited with conceiving the idea for the Robert Frost Award, one of PSU's most celebrated traditions. He received PSU's Distinguished Alumni Service Award posthumously in 1972. In recognition of his accomplishments, the USNH Board of Trustees authorized that the playing area in front of the PE Center be named the Paul E. Arold Athletic Field.
