Football

Mansfield fielded a football team dating back to 1891, but discontinued the Division II varsity football program after the 2006 season, due to budgetary shortfalls. Starting in 2008, largely through the efforts of Sports Information Director Steve McCloskey, the university began competition in the Collegiate Sprint Football League.^[2][3]

The first night football game of all time was played in Mansfield, Pennsylvania on September 28, 1892, between Mansfield (then called Mansfield State Normal) and Wyoming Seminary. It ended bitterly at halftime in a 0–0 tie.^[4]

In 2013, a new artificial (turf grass) playing surface and lights were installed on Karl Van Norman Field. On September 14, 2013, Mansfield played Princeton University in a CSFL game, marking a return to night football in Mansfield after a 121-year absence. Mansfield defeated Princeton 24–14 in front of a record crowd of 6,223 fans at Van Norman Field.^[5]
