Romney Field House received a $2-million renovation in 2012-13 to allow practices for men's and women's sports teams in indoor and outdoor track and field, lacrosse, baseball, softball, tennis, field hockey and soccer.
The facility features a Rekortan M99 synthetic track surface: four lanes of new 200-meter track over an elastic layer, plus outer-corner installations for the long-jump pit, the pole vault and more. There is a smooth transition from the track to the FieldTurf infield, a surface designed for safety and endurance. The infield is marked off for four tennis courts and, with the addition of temporary lines, can be available for field events and lacrosse and soccer practices.
From the ceiling hangs netting that can bisect the infield so that side-by-side practices can take place, while also including a ceiling-mounted, electrically lowered baseball cage, subdivided to accommodate batting practice and pitcher-catcher workouts at the same time.
