Queen City Field
Queen City Field is a multipurpose stadium in Buffalo, New York.
Opened in 2019 as the Medaille Sports Complex, it was planned to be expanded for the city's Buffalo Pro Soccer club. However, the expansion was cancelled in 2025 due to environmental concerns.
The stadium is an anchor tenant of Buffalo Color Park, a 21-acre remediated brownfield site that also includes the Heritage Discovery Center and The Powerhouse. It formerly housed Medaille University athletics events before the school's closure in 2023.
Jon M. Williams, founder of environmental remediation company Ontario Specialty Contracting and real estate company South Buffalo Development, originally purchased the site in a 2009 tax foreclosure auction. He contributed $3.5 million to Honeywell's $20 million cleanup of the property, and received $6.6 million in brownfield tax credits from the State of New York. The 21 acre brownfield site was formerly occupied by coal tar dye manufacturer Schoellkopf, Hartford & Hanna Company, and Williams constructed Buffalo Color Park on its grounds.
Medaille Sports Complex opened in 2019 as the anchor tenant of Buffalo Color Park, and the $4 million facility served as home of Medaille University's athletic teams. The 5 acre complex originally consisted of a dual-purpose artificial turf field for lacrosse and soccer, along with a 20,000 sq ft (1,900 m2) building that housed locker rooms and training facilities. Medaille's small campus did not allow space for outdoor sports, and they had previously rented both All-High Stadium and Dobson Field for lacrosse and soccer games.
Medaille University was forced to close the venue in 2021 due to health concerns for athletes and spectators, citing sulfur dioxide emissions from the neighboring PVS Chemicals plant. PVS Chemicals was sued by Medaille that same year after they ignored a New York State Department of Environmental Conservation order to shut down their plant. Remediation ordered by the state later brought air quality back to acceptable levels.
A $7.5 million expansion was completed in 2022, adding playing surfaces for baseball, softball, and field hockey on 7 acres of previously unused land. Medaille University resumed playing at the venue for their 2022 athletic season.
Medaille closed in 2023, which was attributed in part to debt the school owed from stadium construction and their 15-year lease with the venue.
