The University of Richmond Stadium is used by the Richmond Kickers for soccer and the University of Richmond for American football. It is owned by the City of Richmond, Virginia and is located South of the Carytown district off the Downtown Expressway. The stadium was built in 1929 and seats approximately 22,000 people. From 1964 through 1967 the stadium was home to the Richmond Rebels of the Atlantic Coast Football League and the Continental Football League. The stadium was known as City Stadium until 1983, when it adopted its current name as part of an agreement in which the University of Richmond agreed to lease the stadium for $1 per year in exchange for maintaining the facility. UR Stadium served as the site of the NCAA Division I Men's Soccer Championship from 1995-1998.

As the University of Richmond proceeds with plans to expand its on-campus First Market Stadium to accommodate its football program, the future of University of Richmond Stadium remains unclear.
