Capital Football, Men's and Women's Soccer, and Men's and Women's Lacrosse call Bernlohr Stadium their home field. Student-athletes compete on a state-of-the-art artificial surface called Field Turf, which was re-installed in 2011. The Crusaders play in front of fans, friends, family, and supporters that fill stands with a 3,000-seat capacity. Within a brick, grandstand are two private observation decks, a hospitality suite, two coach boxes, and a press box that makes rival schools jealous.

The stadium includes a three-lane track around the field perimeter for track & field practice as well as fitness and recreation endeavors. In the fall of 2012, Capital debuted a 16x12-foot, high-definition LCD video board in the southeast corner of the stadium funded by the family of the late Dick Hartmann '56. The video board, powered by Daktronics, stands on a 10-foot brick arch and is capable of displaying motion graphics, live and recorded video, and a digital scoreboard.
 
Prior to the 2015 season, Capital installed state-of-the-art LED lights around Bernlohr Stadium through its partnership with Musco Sports Lighting. The addition of lights around the stadium allows for extended playing and practice times for teams that use the playing surface. An enhanced directional sound system and wireless microphones were installed to serve fans and players while inside the press box and suites internal sound systems were added to improve the gameday experience.
 
Through the generosity of Capital alumnus Wells Purmort '58 the field surface will be well-maintained for many years to come. In 2016, Mr. Purmort made a contribution of $1 million to care for or replace the turf and serve other stadium needs. For his kindness, the field surface was named in his honor. The facility is now known as Purmort Field at Bernlohr Stadium.
