The revitalization of this field has been really great for the near east side of Madison. I have been to quite a few different events here in the past couple of years. They have been slowly improving the bathrooms, concession options for events and keeping the stands and field really clean.
The professional ultimate frisbee team 'Madison Radicals' play their home games here. The stands fill up pretty quickly for them. It's great to see all the fans supporting their home team. The games are really energetic and lots of scoring occurs. The amazing throws and catches are really cool to see. They sure do have athletic talent!
The Madison 56ers men's soccer team plays their games here too. They have a little smaller crowd at their matches, but they have a fun 'supporters section' that loves to wave their flags, pound their drums and get their scarves up!
Next March, Madison's brand new professional soccer team will play here. They are talking about another upcoming remodel project for the field. Not sure what they are going to update next, but I'm excited to see that more events are coming to use the field.
Sprinkled throughout the spring to fall season, there's a list of other fun events that are hosted here. There's music concerts, food truck events, etc.
One thing that can be a little problematic is the parking. The field does not have its own parking lot or ramp. It's in the middle of a neighborhood and most times you can get parking within 3-4 blocks of the field. We like to picnic and tailgate in Reynolds Field Park that is across the street from Breese Stevens Field. There's a lot of space in the park to play frisbee, cornhole or catch with the kids.
