In February 2002 Hofstra University President Stuart Rabinowitz announced that the University’s 15,000-seat stadium, home to Hofstra’s Lacrosse (NCAA I), Football (NCAA Division I-AA) and Field Hockey (NCAA I) teams, would be named the James M. Shuart Stadium at Hofstra University.
The $9 million project included the expansion of the seating capacity from 7,000 to 15,000; the installation of a network-quality lighting system for television broadcasts; an Athletic Department office building, which includes a press level and a club suite level; two entrance plazas on the south and west sides of the Stadium; a facade around the outside of the Stadium; additional parking and landscaping; a pavilion in the southeast corner of the Stadium; concession and souvenir areas; two locker rooms; the installation of a state-of-the-art scoreboard in the south end zone; and the reinstallation of a scoreboard in the north end zone. James M. Shuart Stadium is the largest outdoor sports and entertainment complex on Long Island.
