Rafferty Stadium is a 3,500-seat lacrosse stadium on the campus of Fairfield University in Fairfield, Connecticut. It is home to the Fairfield Stags men's and women's lacrosse teams. The facility opened officially on February 2, 2015. The stadium is named in recognition of the principal leadership gift from Larry Rafferty ’64 and his family. Conway Field is named in acknowledgment of a gift from Tim Conway ’76 and his family.
Rafferty Stadium features a Daktronics HD video board and state-of-the-art sound and lights. Conway Field is a FieldTurf playing surface. The stadium also includes a terrace level with a fully enclosed press box that features a large media suite, two VIP suites and a production suite to support the video capabilities of the scoreboard, television broadcasts and web streaming. On the ground level are two team rooms, food, beverage and apparel concessions, restrooms, a box office and entry plaza.
The Rafferty Stadium President's Suite is home to an original painting by renowned American sports artist Stephen Holland. His first artwork of a lacrosse player, the painting honors Fairfield University, its academic and Jesuit mission, and those who made Rafferty Stadium possible. The painting was commissioned by Paul Huston '80.
