That's a shame. I understand it is expensive to run a sports
program due to the cost associated with scholarships, equipment,
coaches salaries, travel etc... But women's field hockey is
popular on long island and fans would show up to watch. UA has
field hockey and they are quite competitive, too.....

I know the school would need to add a women's sport in order to
add a men's sport to the program, but field hockey might be the
worst spectator sport on the planet with a stoppage in play
every few seconds - even at the highest level of college .
Also, field hockey is extremely regional, where the depth south,
majority of the west coast, and the majority of the midwest
don't even play the sport.

Stony Brook is "looking" into field hockey. The AD might as well
just said "hell no"

ReallY?????. That's all this conversation was about from the
start. Just talks about women's field hockey. Not actually
implementing it. I still think Ice hockey is the way to go..

I think the best way forward for SBU athletics is to just get
better and improving at what we currently have rather than
splitting money into new sports like field hockey or ice hockey.
Is ice hockey in my wish list?.. sure. But realistically the
best way forward is trying to become a force in the mid-major
basketball so that we are at the top of AE every year... my
role model is Davidson who dominated the SoCon for so long and
making it to the NCAA tournament almost every year. And making
SB football a destination in Long Island, and giving NYC and LI
people a much cheaper alternative to pro-football. We will never
ever replace pro football in NY and that's not a bad thing..
Giants/Jets tickets are exorbitantly expensive. SB could provide
a cheap entertaining alternative to scratch that "stadium
football" itch.
