William H. Greene Stadium

William H. Greene Stadium is a multi-purpose athletic field located on Howard University's campus that hosts football, soccer, and lacrosse competitions. The venue accommodates approximately 10,000 spectators and features modern artificial turf throughout the playing surface.

The stadium was originally built in 1926 as Howard Stadium and received its current name in 1986 to honor William H. Greene, a physician and university benefactor. Major renovations transformed the facility from its early condition into a modern sports venue with upgraded infrastructure.

The stadium serves as a gathering place where students, alumni, and fans come together to support Howard University athletic teams. Game days create a strong sense of community connection throughout the campus.

The facility sits on Howard University's main campus with convenient access to public transportation and nearby parking options. Visitors should allow extra time for walking around the campus grounds and check specific event schedules before arrival.

The playing surface earned the nickname 'Dust Bowl' in its early years and underwent a significant transformation when artificial turf was installed in 1985. This upgrade allowed the venue to host higher-quality athletic competitions and better protect the field from heavy use.
