Facilities Alumni Stadium
Alumni Stadium, the home to the Notre Dame men’s and women’s soccer programs, opened in 2009 to rave reviews. The $5.7 million state-of-the-art facility resides just east of Purcell Pavilion at the Joyce Center on the Notre Dame campus and features a natural grass field, lights, locker rooms, team lounges, restrooms and concession areas. The lead benefactors for the facility are former Irish soccer players Tom Crotty and Rob Snyder.
Alumni Stadium played host to its first regular-season match on September 1, 2009. The Fighting Irish men’s squad topped Michigan 5-0 in the opener. The official stadium dedication took place on April 24, 2010, during the annual soccer alumni weekend.
The interior of the stadium pays homage to the history of Fighting Irish soccer and the many accomplishments throughout the years. The facility features over 3,000 permanent seats. Additional seating is available on each end line.
Alumni Stadium is part of the athletics quadrangle on the east side of the Notre Dame campus. The player lounge features abundant study space along with a flat-screen television and a projection screen.
