In 1949, the original Green Street Stadium was constructed and has been the home of the Irish ever since. In 1994, the natural grass field was dedicated to the long-time St. Vincent-St. Mary coach John Cistone. After surviving 70 to 80 events a year in the unforgiving Northeast Ohio weather, Green Street Stadium and John Cistone Field received a much needed facelift in 2005.
Today, Green Street Stadium and John Cistone Field not only host St. Vincent-St. Mary sporting events, but they also host CYO football games, Akron Jaguars semi-pro football games, band competitions, and many more.Here are some of the changes that were made to the stadium, as well as some photos:
