In August 2024, the Lapham Field House at the Smilow Field Center at the Carm Cozza Complex re-opened after a $38 million renovation, thanks to the generosity and support of distinguished Yale alumni and the university. As part of the capital project, the Yale Bowl complex was dedicated in memory of Carm Cozza, who served as Yale Football's head coach from 1965 to 1996.

The Lapham Field House at the Smilow Field Center is home to the Yale football and Yale men's and women's track & field and cross country programs. Each team has their own designated locker room space, complete with upgraded lockers and lounges for student-athletes. Additional spaces are comprised of a 110-person meeting space with a retractable wall, stadium seating, and upgraded audio-visual equipment, as well as positional meeting rooms, nutrition stations, and a creative studio.

The building also includes space for athletic medicine and equipment services. The upgraded athletic medicine space consists of hydrotherapy pools, upgraded rehab and medical equipment, and a physician's office. The renovated lobby showcases the tradition, history and success of Yale Football. Additionally, the updated cross country and track & field space honors the history and achievements of Yale Olympians as well as highlights the venerable Coxe Cage facility.

In 1993, thanks to the donation from Joel E. Smilow '54, a renovated multi-purpose facility was completed in time for the fall 1993 athletic season and includes a 10,000 net square foot addition with new mechanical and electrical equipment. The Carm Cozza Complex was originally dedicated on Nov. 20, 2010 and spanned part of the Lapham Field House as well as the adjacent tennis courts.
