Soccer Playing Seahawks
Cecil College is a community college in Cecil County located just outside of the town of North East, Maryland. It was founded in 1968 and was known as Cecil Community College until 2007.
The athletics programs at the college are known as the Seahawks. Nine sports teams on campus compete in Division II of NJCAA.
The College dedicated its new synthetic turf field on June 13, 2023
Food & Beverage 1
There are limited food options available at Turf Field. There is a shared concession stand with the baseball and softball field but we do not know when it is open. We will award a 1, assuming that it is open on busy weekend games.
Atmosphere 2
There is not much else in terms of atmosphere as it is a JUCO-level softball match.
There is very little atmosphere for Seahawks matches. There is a PA system but it plays at an extremely low volume. There is one small stand on the main side of the field and some various seating on the opposite side. A loose stone walking path surrounds the field
Neighborhood 3
North East is located between Philadelphia and Baltimore and is simply named from its direction on the Maryland map.
Downtown North East offers many great shopping opportunities as well as wonderful food. Woody's Crabs is a good choice for meals when in town.
The college is located across I-95 from the town and there are some other food options as well.
Fans 2
The attendees at most games are family members or other athletes. There may be a few residents who attend the games.
Access 4
The college is located almost directly off of I-95, one of the busiest and most well-known highways in the country so getting to campus will not be difficult.
Follow signs to the back of the campus and you will find the athletic field. There will be plenty of parking.
Return on Investment 5
The games are free to attend. That, along with the free parking, means that you can attend a good-level JUCO program at no cost.
Extras 1
The unique variety of seating options is an extra on its own.
Final Thoughts
Turf Field is a basic pleasant soccer pitch located in a nice park-like setting. Although nothing fancy, it is a nice little stop for a sports fan traveling along the I-95 corridor.
