Gallery: (5-10-2022) Cafaro Family Field
Cafaro Family Field is primarily used by the Youngstown State University's intramural and club teams. It also serves as a secondary practice facility for YSU's athletic teams, including for the soccer, lacrosse and football programs.
Located along Elm Street on the north side of campus adjacent to the Flats at Wick Apartments and across from Cafaro Hall, the facility opened in 2019.
The Cafaro Family donated $1.5 million to the Youngstown State University “We See Tomorrow” campaign to fund the construction.
“As our residential student population continues to grow, it is important that we provide the recreational opportunities needed to serve those students,” YSU President Jim Tressel said. “We thank the Cafaro family for again stepping forward to meet those needs and for their continued support of the university and our students.”
Anthony Cafaro Sr., retired president of The Cafaro Company and son of company founder William M. Cafaro, added: “YSU’s role as a significant catalyst for the region has only grown under the leadership of President Tressel. We are thrilled to be a small part of that success and to continue our ongoing commitment to YSU and its students.”
