Summarize this article for a 10 year old
Cooper Field,[1] formerly known as Harbin Field and Multi-Sport Field, is a 4,418-seat multi-purpose stadium in Washington, D.C., on the campus of Georgetown University. The field was originally used for intramurals and was adopted for soccer in 1994 as Harbin Field. The name was changed to "Multi-Sport Field", a placeholder pending final construction, to reflect the football team's use of the field starting in 2003. In 2015, Georgetown changed the name to Cooper Field in honor of a $50 million gift from Georgetown football parents Peter and Susan Cooper which funded athletic leadership programs at Georgetown and construction upgrades to the field.[2]
