About
This 120,000 square-foot football field was named in honor of Roberto Clemente, the legendary Hall of Fame baseball player and humanitarian. The field and adjacent cast stone bleachers, which were installed in 1923, represent one of the most significant deviations from Olmsted's original plans for the Back Bay Fens—the area was originally planned to contain a meander of the Muddy River, which today runs south of the field.
In 2009, Emmanuel College and the Yawkey Foundation, in partnership with the city of Boston, contributed $4 million to restore the historic, city-owned field, an important community athletic resource in the Fenway neighborhood. This complex now features an NCAA-regulation synthetic turf field, which accommodates regulation softball, soccer and lacrosse.
