George J. & Hope M. Matthews Arena, Boston, MA
Directions
Formerly known as the Boston Arena, this icehouse gave birth to
the Boston Bruins, the New England Whalers and introduced the Boston
Celtics. In keeping with Northeastern University's desire to improve
the versatility of the facility, a new 90' x 200' ice surface was
installed, providing the varsity men's and women's ice hockey teams
the largest playing surface in Boston.
Edward S. Parsons Field, Brookline, MA
Directions
The Northeastern football and soccer teams have a premier facility
for their practices and home games: Parsons Field. As a result of
comprehensive renovations completed in 1992, the field now enjoys
the look of a major facility. Further improvements were made to
Parsons in 2001, including the installation of a new AstroPlay artificial
playing surface. This new surface dramatically improved the safety
and versatility of Parsons Field. The well-groomed seven acres contain
not only the multipurpose turf surface and grandstand, but also
the adjacent Friedman Diamond, home of Husky baseball, with new
dugouts and scoreboard. Through the years the field has hosted football,
field hockey, soccer, women's lacrosse and track. The field is also
enjoyed by Town of Brookline teams, including the high school's
varsity football and baseball squads as well as various summer leagues.

The Godfrey Lowell Cabot Center sits on the former site of the Huntington
Avenue Grounds, where the first World Series was played in 1903
between Boston and Pittsburgh. The Cabot Center's Solomon Court
is home to both the men's basketball, women's basketball and volleyball
teams. This newly renovated gymnasium sports a brighter look with
a light cream colored ceiling, medium gray walls, red seating and
a refinished court.
Bernard & Jolane Solomon Track & Field, Dedham,
MA
Directions
Surrounded by towering pines and sparkling brooks, Northeastern's
outdoor track facility is New England's finest. Opened in 1986,
the Solomon Track & Field is home to one of the region's most
successful collegiate track programs. With its location in Dedham,
Mass., the Solomon Track & Field is an easy target from the
main campus and all compass points within the metropolitan area,
allowing it to serve the greater Boston and New England collegiate
and scholastic track fraternity with an accessible and high quality
facility. The track features an eight-lane, Action Track 200 running
surface and an expansive area for all jumping and throwing events,
allowing for shot put, hammer, discus, and javelin events to take
place concurrently.
Ernest Henderson Boathouse, Brighton, MA
Directions
The Northeastern rowing teams are blessed with the best course west
of Henley-on-Thames, the Charles River, and one of the finest crew
homes in America, the Henderson Boathouse. Renowned architect Graham
Gund preserved the Victorian feel of the riverscape with Henderson
Boathouse's blend of the past and present, while also endowing the
five-bayed facility with the latest in modern technology. The boathouse
features towers, sloped roofs, dormers and porches, plus an exercise
area with a 40-foot high cathedral ceiling. It is the ideal venue
for Northeastern's excellent men's and women's crew programs.
