Merrimack Warriors (NCAA) (2017–)

Duane Stadium is a 4,000-seat multi-purpose stadium in North Andover, Massachusetts. It is the home of the Merrimack Warriors field hockey, football, lacrosse, and track & field programs. The stadium includes a turf field and an eight-lane track.

The stadium had its grand opening on October 14, 2017 as the Merrimack football team defeated Pace 44–10. At this time the stadium was simply referred to as Warrior Stadium.

The stadium has since been named after Ken and Jincie Duane. Ken was a member of Merrimack's class of 1980 and was on the school's hockey and lacrosse programs. His wife served as a member of board of trustees. The stadium was opened in 2017 for bigger attendance figures as Merrimack’s enrollment began to grow.
