Get Ready for the 2024 Season: Experience "The Factory" Like Never Before
The 2024 season will look like no other inside "The Factory", with the removal of the track and the replacement of the stadium's turf. The field will be renamed "Maxx Crosby Field" following a $1 million to the EMU by NFL All-Pro/Las Vegas Raiders standout Maxx Crosby and his wife/former EMU soccer student-athlete, Rachel Crosby.

Stadium renovations began in late March and are expected to be complete by late May.
