Armfield Athletic Center
Guilford practices and competes year round on some of the top facilities in the country. The team plays its home contests in the Armfield Athletic Center, a 2,200-seat stadium located on the southeast corner of the campus. The stadium has aluminum bleacher seating and is equipped with a state-of-the-art scoreboard and sound system. The playing surface was expanded and updated with the addition of Field Turf in the summer of 2009.
The Armfield Athletic Center was originally constructed with funds from the Armfield family and friends and dedicated in honor of William J. Armfield Jr. and in memory of Britt M. Armfield and William J. Armfield III. The elder William Armfield, who died in 1968, played on the college's first football team in the late 1800s. Both William Armfields were Guilford alumni.
In 2006, Armfield Athletic Center received the first phase of an estimated $2.5 million renovation project. The first phase included a new press box, stadium seating, refurbished bleacher seating, a multi-function scoreboard, field lights, and exterior fence. The Armfield Athletic Center's game field was renamed in honor of Dr. Herbert T. Appenzeller, who worked with the Armfield family 45 years ago to build the athletic complex. In his nearly 40 years at Guilford, Appenzeller’s work as a professor and administrator produced many scholars, athletes and leaders in their fields. Subsequent phases are slated to include additional seating and exterior improvements. Click here for more information about the project.
Practices are held both on Armfield Athletic Center and also at Haworth Field, a complex which features two end-to-end, fully irrigated Bermuda grass fields. The Ragan-Brown Field House houses the soccer locker rooms in addition to a newly renovated weight room, and training room.
