The Tansill Muldoon Stadium is a 5,500-seat [[athletics|athletic]] venue which serves over 270 Trinity student-athletes who participate in field hockey, football, lacrosse, and track and field. It is located adjacent to both the [[jessee_miller_football_field_and_track|Jessee/Miller]] and [[robin_l._sheppard_field|Robin L. Sheppard]] playing fields. The stadium opened on September 18, 2021, coinciding with the season-opening games for the football and field hockey teams. It is named for the Tansill and Muldoon families, who along with other Trinity alumni, made generous contributions to a $65 million-dollar athletic fundraising campaign.

The stadium project occurred in two phases. Phase I included new spectator stands with accessible seating, an observation deck with clear views of both the Robin L. Sheppard and Jessee/Miller playing fields, a new press box, and two rooms for alumni and parent gatherings. The Class of 1993's undefeated football team funded one of the named alumni suites in honor of their coach, Don Miller. The second suite was named in honor of several members of the Class of 1987 football team.


In fall 2022, Phase II finished improvements to the Robin L. Sheppard Field including warming rooms for the athletes, a pavilion providing additional viewing space for field hockey and women’s lacrosse games, and a gathering space for coaches, athletes, and fans.
