Dorrance Field

The University of North Carolina boasts one of the finest soccer and lacrosse facilities in the nation. Carolina opened its new, on-campus Lacrosse & Soccer Stadium on March 2, 2019, by hosting a men's and women's lacrosse doubleheader. The stadium was dedicated as Dorrance Field in honor of longtime women's soccer coach Anson Dorrance in September 2019.

Construction on the facility began in May 2017. It is built on the site of the old Fetzer Field, which housed six sports on campus from 1935 through 2017. The facility is home to UNC's men's and women's soccer and lacrosse teams.

The stadium provides the student-athletes and coaches of the of these programs with the facility needed to continue to pursue the championships for which they are known. Fans in the stadium can enjoy a much-improved gameday experience with new seating, concession areas, restrooms and amenities.

Dorrance Field provides a state-of-the-art home for the four programs, offering the operational space needed to compete at a championship level. The stadium will also bring fans closer to the field.

The new stadium features:
• A natural grass playing field
• A full program facility (the building provides offices, team meeting areas and locker rooms for both soccer programs and women's lacrosse, while the men's lacrosse team's facilities will remain in the Loudermilk Center.)
• Hall of Honor — The success of these programs will be celebrated in a new Hall of Honor in a fully renovated McCaskill Center.
• 4,200 individual chair back seats
• New concessions and restrooms
• New LED scoreboard/video board

In the Heart of Campus
Dorrance Field is located in the heart of central campus on the current footprint of Fetzer Field. The stadium connects on its south end with the Football Practice Complex, providing a needed and attractive connection between the southeast side of campus and central campus.
