BUCCANEER FIELD Buccaneer Field is one of the top soccer facilities in collegiate athletics. A state-of-the-art soccer training facility, Buccaneer Field added lights in 2000. The outdoor training center features two 120 x 75-yard fields, a two-story press box/concession stand with photo deck, and seating for 1,500 fans. In all, Buccaneer Field has hosted five NCAA Division II Women’s Soccer Final Fours, including 1989 and 1993, when Barry won two of its three national titles, and two NCAA Division II Men’s Final Fours. It’s not surprising that Buccaneer Field has been used as a practice facility for many teams touring South Florida. In 1996, Barry’s soccer complex served as the training headquarters for the Brazilian Men’s Olympic Team. In 1998, both the USA Men’s National Team and the Brazilian Men’s National Team trained at Barry’s soccer complex prior to the World Cup. In 2000, the New York/New Jersey Metro Stars and the San Jose Earthquake conducted their preseason training camp at Buccaneer Field in February. In 2003, both the Brazil and USA men’s teams practiced at Buccaneer Field for the Gold Cup. During the summer of 2013, the Spanish National Team, the defending World Cup champs, trained at Buccaneer Field in preparation for the ConFed Cup. The German team also utilized the facility.
