Fortress Obetz is an American lacrosse stadium in Obetz, Ohio, near Columbus. It is under construction as a 6,500 seat venue on the site of the Columbus Motor Speedway, and is expected to open as the first facility specifically made for professional lacrosse in the United States. The stadium will host the Ohio Machine of Major League Lacrosse.
Fortress Field is the third home of the Ohio Machine, although the last "home" game of predecessor Chicago Machine was played in Columbus Crew Stadium in 2010. The Machine began play in 2012 on Selby Field at Ohio Wesleyan University, and moved to Ohio Dominican University for the 2016 season. Fortress Field is built on the site of the Columbus Motor Speedway, which was demolished by the Village of Obetz in 2016. The stadium will open on May 6, 2017 for the home game of the Machine, against the Rochester Rattlers.
