Concessions sales are meet dependent. Hart Turf Field & Hart Track Home to the Holy Cross outdoor track and field hockey teams, the Hart Turf Field and Hart Track are the highest volume playing surfaces on campus. Surrounded by an eight-lane running track, the turf field is currently one of four lighted playing surfaces at Holy Cross. Both the turf field and the track were replaced in the summer of 2011. The field now consists of Astroturf 12 on Elastic Layer, while the track has a Beynon Sports Surface BSS 1000 Full Pour Embedded Surface. A new scoreboard was installed in 2003, and new spectator stands were built behind the benches on the turf field in 2005. A press box which is shared with the adjacent soccer field was added in 2005. Filming questions may be directed to the Holy Cross Track and Field Office at 508-793-2317. 5
