Stevenson-Pincince Field is a stadium in Providence, Rhode Island on the campus of Brown University. It is home to the Brown Bears soccer and lacrosse programs.

Name

[edit]

The stadium was named in 1979 for longtime men's soccer coach Cliff Stevenson, who was successful in establishing a men's soccer program at Brown during the 1960s.[1] In 2015, the facility was renamed Stevenson-Pincince Field to also honor longtime women's soccer coach Phil Pincince.[2]

Description and history

[edit]

The stadium seats 3,500 and has hosted games in both the NCAA soccer and lacrosse tournaments. In 2001 and again in 2012, Stevenson-Pincince Field received upgrades to its lighting and field surface.[3]

On April 3, 2019, Brown University announced that the aluminum bleachers and pressbox would be replaced with a new 3-story, 22,500 sf stadium facility, complete with dedicated team locker rooms and training, coaches' offices, and public restrooms and concessions. The facility was completed in February 2020.[4]
