    Wagner College opens its stadium on campus

    Wagner College opened a 3,500-seat stadium on its Staten Island campus in 1967. Football, men's and women's lacrosse, and track and field use it. A six-lane synthetic track rings the field, letting the school host major track meets, and a field house beneath the stands holds locker rooms, a training room and an equipment room.
