Rugby is a club sport that typically does not charge admission to matches. The majority of American rugby clubs do not own the field they play on.  Instead, they move from place to place, relying on the good graces of a park board/school district, or paying to use the field temporarily.

Since 1999 Springfield Rugby Club has been one of the very few clubs in the US that owns the field they play on.  This means we can have matches, training sessions, events, and gatherings whenever we choose. A gathering will always take place after our matches, where we will sit under our pavilion, enjoying the afternoon until the sun sets and beyond. 

In August 2022 SRFC moved to a completely new field which was bought and fully prepared by Convoy of Hope in exchange for the old field.  This new field will be the envy of many rugby clubs in the USA with 2 full sized pitches complete  with Technical Zones & Sideline Management Guidelines to USA Rugby standard, a Pavilion (80ft x 30ft), floodlights for one pitch, CU power, well water supply and security fencing. The new facility is definitely an improvement on the old facility and will be the home of SRFC for many years to come. The plan is shown at the top of this page and work started on the new field in the 3rd week of September 2021. Getting the field ready as a sports field required a lot of work. The two pitches were watered 24/7 for almost 3 months during the dry summer of 2022 in order to get them ready for the Annual 10's Tournament in August. On Saturday August 20th, with a TV crew present, the new pitches and the pavilion were officially opened for the 2022-2023 season. Future plans include redeveloping a shed on the edge of the property into 2 changing rooms and adding flood lights to the practice area.
