The stadium sits on the UCLA campus in Westwood, where the Bruins play their home soccer matches. Seating is limited to a few thousand places, so arriving early matters on days when a ranked opponent or a tournament match draws a crowd. Check the UCLA athletics schedule before travelling, since the venue is only active on match days.
During a women's soccer senior day match in October 2022, the stadium drew approximately 2,450 fans, exceeding its standard capacity. This surge highlights the growing popularity of women's collegiate soccer and the passionate support from the local community.
