The Mercyhurst Lakers men's and women's soccer teams play their home games at Mercyhurst Soccer Field, another facility at the University.
History
Since the program's inception in 1981, Mercyhurst football had played their home games at Erie Veterans Memorial Stadium. However, when the venue was unavailable for the 1996 season, Mercyhurst officials decided this was the time to accomplish their long-term vision of an on-campus football stadium, thereby building Saxon Stadium.
Naming
The stadium is named after John and Patty Saxon, whose significant contribution to the university athletic program and stadium renovations gained them the naming rights.
