Bob Ford Field at Tom & Mary Casey Stadium is a stadium in Albany, New York, owned and operated by the University at Albany, SUNY. The stadium serves as home venue to school's football team, as well as their men's and women's soccer, and women's field hockey programs.
The stadium, with an initial seating capacity of 8,500 (originally called Bob Ford Field, named after Bob Ford, who was head coach at Albany from 1970 until retiring at the end of the 2013 season, with the playing field still called that) opened on September 14, 2013, when Albany made its debut in Colonial Athletic Association football against Rhode Island. It was renamed Bob Ford Field at Tom and Mary Casey Stadium in 2015 after Tom & Mary Casey gave a $10 million gift to the school. It replaced University Field as the school's current stadium.
