Opened in the spring of '00, the Kohn Field provides Middlebury a first class artificial surface. The field was named in honor of Peter Kohn, a friend of Middlebury College since he arrived on campus in 1980. He worked in the equipment room from 1981-1988, while serving as a manager of the men's lacrosse team. He has continued his duties with the men's lacrosse team and returns to campus each spring to work with the team. Kohn is well known throughout the lacrosse world, having served as manager of the U.S. National Team several times at the World Games. When time permits, Kohn also enjoys helping out with other spring teams at Middlebury as well as some of the other teams during his brief visits in the fall and winter. Kohn holds a special place in the hearts of all Middlebury College supporters and was recently inducted into the U.S. Lacrosse Hall of Fame.

The 240' X 360' all-weather surface affords teams use of an outdoor facility during inclement weather and during the early spring when the ground may be snow covered. The field is home to the field hockey team, women's lacrosse squad and the men's lacrosse team until Alumni Stadium is playable. The surface is also shared by several Middlebury teams, as well as for intramural activities.

The surface is fully lined for men's and women's lacrosse, along with field hockey, football and soccer lines. The Astroturf XL system is the newest, most advanced synthetic turf, chosen more often than all its competitors combined. The surface has been used in such facilities as the Tropicana Dome in Florida, the RCA Dome in Indianapolis, and Giants Stadium in New Jersey. Colleges such as Rice, WPI, Springfield, and UMass have also installed the surface.
