Joseph J. Morrone Stadium (Hillside Road, Storrs campus)

College soccer and lacrosse devotees and the media consider the Joseph J. Morrone Stadium to be one of the finest collegiate complexes in the nation. In 1994, Soccer America Magazine voted the former Connecticut Soccer Stadium one of the TOP FIVE "Best Soccer Atmospheres" in the nation, with its large, vocal crowds, and bleacher seating which completely surrounds the playing field.

The Joseph J. Morrone Stadium, with its seating capacity of 8,574 and a natural grass-playing surface, is one of the finest college facilities in the nation. The natural grass-playing surface measures 75 by 120 yards.

The Joseph J. Morrone Stadium has undergone major improvements over the past four years. This new-look facility has been funded by both state monies and by private contributions through the UConn Friends of Soccer support organization.

These enhancements include: a state-of-the-art scoreboard and message center; new aluminum bleachers; replacement of the natural grass surface, with new grass and an irrigation and automatic watering system installed; and one of the top press boxes in the country, with accommodations for over 20 media outlets.

The fully enclosed and heated aluminum-sided press box measures 120 feet. It includes a 60-foot midsection for working media, rooms for television and home and visiting radio, an enclosed upper camera deck, and special hospitality areas for guests. Additionally, television monitors are positioned throughout the press box for viewing the game action below.
