Yurcak Field
Dedicated on April 16, 1994, the stadium was named “The Soccer Stadium at Yurcak Field” in honor of Ronald N. Yurcak, a 1965 All-American Rutgers lacrosse player who made a generous donation to the University. The venue supports the men’s and women’s soccer program.
The stadium was previously home to the men’s and women’s lacrosse programs until 2013 when those games moved to SHI Stadium. Yurcak Field has played host to several major sporting events, including the Big Ten Championships and was previously the home field for the NSWL club Sky Blue FC (now known as Gotham FC). Featuring a 120' x 75' playing surface, state-of-the-art video board and lighting, the stadium can house 5,000 fans in its spacious grandstand as well as holding several thousand more across the field in the stadium's berm area.
