In February 2017, the memorable announcement was made that UNC Field Hockey would move into a brand-new stadium for the 2018 season. It would be located just beyond the right field wall of Boshamer Stadium on what used to be the shady old Ehringhaus Field. The new field hockey complex would feature a 900-seat stadium around the new playing surface, LED scoreboards and lighting, and an exciting team building that would include locker rooms, team theater/video room, sports medicine space, a players' lounge, meeting space, and coaches' offices.
It sounded perfect. All it needed was a name.
For Burlington's Ken and Cheryl Williams, the decision whose name the field would carry was a simple one.
