Peter Yetten Field is home to the Bentley football and men's lacrosse teams. The men's and women's soccer teams also play on Yetten Field for the occasional night games.Â
Bentley officially dedicated the field to legendary football coach Peter Yetten in September 2024. After three years as an assistant, Yetten was named the head coach in 1979 and held the position through the 2008 season. His record of 225-81-2 included 154-60-2 in 21 varsity seasons, a winning percentage of .718. Yetten, a 2000 inductee into the Bentley Athletic Hall of Fame, led the Falcons to the first two NCAA Division II playoff berths in program history, in 2003 and 2004. From 1993-95, his teams won 30 consecutive games, which at the time was the longest by a New England football team since Yale in the late 1800s. The Falcons also won 38 consecutive regular season contests from Sept. 25, 1992 to Nov. 4, 1995.
The Boston University product earned three Northeast-10 Coach of the Year awards in a span of four years from 2001-04. He also was the recipient of Coach of the Year awards from the New England Football Writers, the Gridiron Club of Boston, the Eastern Collegiate Football Conference and the ECAC Intercollegiate Football Conference during a career that included seven 10-win seasons.
Yetten received the Contribution to Amateur Football Award from the Eastern Massachusetts chapter of the National Football Foundation in 2006 and the Murray Lewis Award from the Eastern Association of Intercollegiate Football Officials in 2007.
