Loring Arena opened in November 1963 as a seasonally operated facility, and one of the first municipally owned arenas in the area. Loring Arena underwent a complete renovation beginning in May 2017. The $6 million renovation and expansion project was completed in the fall of 2018 and included a dedicated locker room and storage space for the FSU ice hockey program.<ref>{{Cite journal|title=Loring Arena|url=https://www.fsurams.com/information/facilities/Loring|language=en}}</ref>

Bowditch Field and Loring Arena are used not only by the Framingham State Rams baseball, football, and men's ice hockey teams respectively but the [[Framingham High School]] Flyers for their baseball, football and men's/women's ice hockey teams as well respectively.

In addition to playing their home games at Bowditch Field the Framingham State Rams baseball team also play their early season home games at the [[New England Baseball Complex]] in [[Northborough, Massachusetts]], around 12 miles (19.3&nbsp;km) away.

Note: women's outdoor track and field do not have a home track (no home meets) respectively as of Fall 2023.{{OSM Location map|float=center|mark-coord5={{coord|42.296902|-71.435682}}|label3=Baseball|label-color3=black|label-pos3=left|mark-coord4={{coord|42.276292|-71.429544}}|mark4=White pog.svg|label4=M Ice Hockey|label-color4=black|label-pos4=top|mark5=Gold pog.svg|mark-coord3={{coord|42.294451|-71.425432}}|label5=M/W Basketball and W Volleyball|label-color5=black|label-pos5=right|label6=Campus Center|label-pos6=left|label-color6=black|mark6=Blue pog.svg|mark-coord6={{coord|42.297295|-71.437319}}|mark3=Green pog.svg|label-pos2=right|title=Framingham State Rams athletic facilities locations|mark-coord2={{coord|42.293358|-71.425407}}|coord={{coord|42.2872438|-71.4357647}}|zoom=14             <!--(1=whole world, 18=a street)-->|height=400|width=400|label1=Softball|label-color2=black|label2=Football|mark2=Green pog.svg|label-pos1=right|nolabels=1|label-color1=black|label-pos=bottom|mark1=Black pog.svg|mark-coord1={{coord|42.291505|-71.438517}}|label-color=black|label=M/W Soccer, M (club)/W Lacrosse, and Field Hockey|mark=Black pog.svg|mark-coord={{coord|42.291203|-71.439666}}|caption=Locations of the sports at the athletics facilities used by the Framingham State Rams athletic teams in relation to campus, 2022-23 [[Image:Blue pog.svg|10px]] Campus Center (McCarthy Center) [[Image:Gold pog.svg|10px]] Athletic and Recreation Center (on-campus, owned and operated by [[Framingham State University]]) <ref name="framingham.edu">{{Cite web|url=https://www.framingham.edu/about-fsu/map|title = Campus & Locations| date=2 March 2017 }}</ref> [[Image:Black pog.svg|10px]] Maple Street Field (off-campus, owned and operated by [[Framingham State University]]) <ref name="framingham.edu">{{Cite web|url=https://www.framingham.edu/about-fsu/map|title = Campus & Locations| date=2 March 2017 }}</ref> [[Image:Green pog.svg|10px]] [[Bowditch Field]] (off-campus, owned and operated by the city of [[Framingham]]) <ref name="framingham.edu">{{Cite web|url=https://www.framingham.edu/about-fsu/map|title = Campus & Locations| date=2 March 2017 }}</ref> and [[Image:White pog.svg|10px]] Loring Arena (off-campus, owned and operated by the city of [[Framingham]]).<ref name="framingham.edu">{{Cite web|url=https://www.framingham.edu/about-fsu/map|title = Campus & Locations| date=2 March 2017 }}</ref>  M = Men's  W = Women's}}
