Yates Field House

Yates Field House is a recreation and intramural sports complex at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. It was built in the late 1970s largely underground, on the site of the university's football stadium.

The four-level, 142,000-square foot facility includes 2 racquetball courts, 5 squash courts, 4 newly renovated indoor basketball courts (as of 2025), a 200-meter jogging track and 25-meter eight-lane indoor swimming pool, a diving pool, along with exercise rooms, weight rooms, locker rooms, saunas and a half-acre dance area. The facility is home to many varsity sports teams including swim and dive, tennis and other. The center was named after the Rev. Gerard F. Yates, a long-standing Georgetown professor of government, and dean of the graduate school.

Problems with the unusual roof arrangement — including torn artificial turf, pooling rainwater and interior leaks — have led to major renovations in 1987, 2002 and 2019, and periodic calls for Yates to be replaced. Because of problems with the playing surface, varsity teams have not used the rooftop Kehoe Field since 2002, and even intramural and recreational users were barred from the roof in 2016. Since then renovations have taken place and recreational users have been welcomed back, as well as varsity sports, including field hockey, and track teams.
