'''Crown Field at Andy Kerr Stadium''' is a 10,221-seat [[multi-purpose stadium]] in [[Hamilton (village), New York|Hamilton, New York]], United States. It is the home of [[Colgate University]]'s [[Colgate Raiders football|football]] and [[Colgate Raiders men's lacrosse|men's lacrosse]] teams.<ref name=Crown>{{cite web |title=Crown Field at Andy Kerr Stadium |url=https://gocolgateraiders.com/sports/2005/12/13/kerr.aspx |publisher=[[Colgate University]] |access-date=September 2, 2020 }}</ref><br />

Colgate opened the stadium in 1939, originally as "Colgate Athletic Field". Colgate's football teams – then known as the Red Raiders and competing at the highest level of NCAA play – were coached during the stadium's inaugural year by [[Andrew Kerr|Andy Kerr]], who led the team from 1929 to 1946.<ref>{{cite news |title=Keeping Posted |first=Bill |last=Reddy |date=August 4, 1939 |page=29 |newspaper=[[The Post-Standard]] |location=Syracuse, N.Y.|via=[[Newspapers.com]] |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/58532332/1966-kerr-stadium/ }}</ref><br />
<br />
The stadium adopted the name Andy Kerr Stadium on "Andy Kerr Day" on September 17, 1966, before a crowd of 8,000. The 87-year-old former coach was on hand to greet well-wishers and witness a 34-0 Colgate football victory over Boston University.<ref>{{cite news |title=Hot Burton Dogs Terriers |first=John W. |last=Fox |date=September 18, 1966 |page=1C |newspaper=[[Press & Sun-Bulletin|The Sunday Press]] |location=Binghamton, N.Y.|via=[[Newspapers.com]] |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/58533199/1966-colgate-bu/ }}</ref><br />
<br />
Parts of the stadium have also been named to honor Raider athletes and coaches. A permanent main grandstand on the east (home team) side of the stadium was dedicated in 1991 to [[Frederick Dunlap (American football)|Frederick H. Dunlap]], 1970s-80s football head coach and athletic director.<ref name=Crown/> The seven-lane, 400-meter running track around the field was dedicated to 1937 graduate R.L. Browning in September 1998; it serves as a training facility for 25 Colgate varsity programs.<ref>{{cite web |title=R.L.

<br />
In 2003, a new three-story press box was constructed behind the west stands of the stadium, named for 1950s and 1960s football coach [[Hal Lahar]] and 1970s football player Robert Abeltin. In 2006, the stadium added a new scoreboard with video capability. After lacrosse player Michael Crown and his parents supported the installation of lights and [[FieldTurf]] in 2007, it was renamed Crown Field at Andy Kerr Stadium in 2014.<ref name=Crown/><br />
