Beirne Stadium, Sports stadium in Smithfield, United States
Beirne Stadium is a sports facility in Smithfield built to host football and lacrosse competitions for Bryant University. The venue features covered seating sections on the home side, separate spectator areas for visiting teams, permanent lighting for evening games, an athletic training center, and standard facilities for visitors.
The facility first opened in 1999 under the name Bulldog Stadium, serving Bryant University's athletic programs. It was renamed Beirne Stadium in 2016 to honor a major university supporter.
The stadium functions as the athletic heart of Bryant University, bringing together students and the local community around football and lacrosse competitions. These events shape social life on campus and in the surrounding area.
The venue is accessible during events and offers convenient parking for visitors attending games. Plan to arrive with extra time to navigate the parking areas and find your seating sections without rushing.
In 2024, the facility became the temporary home of professional soccer club Rhode Island FC, requiring additional seating to be installed for the season. This unexpected partnership demonstrated how a university venue can serve broader community sports needs.
