Arthur J Rooney Athletic Field, located in Pittsburgh, PA, is a unique multi-purpose facility situated in the heart of the Duquesne University campus. With scenic views of downtown Pittsburgh, the Monongahela River, and the historic South Side, this lighted, artificial turf-covered field has been serving as the home to Duquesne football, soccer, and lacrosse since its completion in 1993. Named in honor of Art Rooney, a Duquesne University football letterman and the founder of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Rooney Field underwent a $4 million renovation in 2011, further enhancing its appeal and functionality.

Originally a staff and faculty parking lot, Rooney Field was transformed into a focal point of the Duquesne campus through foresight and planning. Its unique east-to-west orientation, resulting from space limitations, offers excellent sight lines and a terrace effect, with concrete bleachers on one side and a grassy knoll on the other. The first phase of renovation work in 2008 introduced permanent grandstand seating, replacing temporary bleachers. Celebrating its 30th full-season anniversary in 2023, Arthur J Rooney Athletic Field stands as a testament to the university's commitment to providing top-notch athletic facilities.
