More about Kienzle-Hylbert Stadium
In the spring of 2023, Denison University broke ground on a $5.5-million leading-edge lacrosse and soccer stadium on the site of Barclay-Thomsen Field, complete with a multi-use synthetic turf field, press box, permanent bleachers, lighting, and a new scoreboard. At the new stadium, we continue to publicly honor the legacy of venerated coaching legends Ted Barclay and Tommy Thomsen.
Named for former Big Red lacrosse midfielder Rick Kienzle ’85 and his wife, Cindy, and Paul Hylbert ’66 and his wife, Katharine, Kienzle-Hylbert Stadium opened in time for the 2024 spring lacrosse season.
The Big Red men’s and women’s lacrosse and soccer teams have been nationally prominent since their earliest days. Denison competes and contends for conference and national titles year in and year out.
