Reese Stadium, Sports stadium at Yale University, New Haven, United States.
Reese Stadium is a sports stadium at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, with seating for around 3,000 spectators and a synthetic turf field. It serves as the home venue for the university's men's and women's soccer and lacrosse teams.
The stadium opened in 1981 under the name Soccer-Lacrosse Stadium and was renamed in 2011 following major renovations. The new name honored the Reese family, whose funding made those renovations possible.
The name Reese reflects the family whose support helped transform the facility into what it is today. On game days, the stands fill with students, families, and local fans who follow Yale's college sports programs closely.
The stadium sits on Central Avenue on the Yale campus and is easy to reach on foot from other parts of the university. Parking is available nearby, though it is worth checking availability before attending a game.
In 1995, the stadium hosted soccer competitions as part of the Special Olympics World Summer Games. That made it one of the few university sports venues in the region to have held events at that international level.
