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. [1] The stadium includes a turf field and an eight-lane track. [2]

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. [3]

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. [4]
