Coordinates: 40°14′48″N 111°39′19″W / 40.24667°N 111.65528°W / 40.24667; -111.65528 The Stadium at South Field, more commonly known simply as "South Field",[1] is a soccer-specific stadium in Provo, Utah on the campus of Brigham Young University.

The stadium serves as home to BYU's women's college soccer team, as well as the BYU Cougars of the USL Premier Development League, and the BYU men's rugby team. Hanson Sports was the contractor selected to construct the bleachers at South Field in 2008. The stadium now features a grandstand with seating capacity up to 4,200 spectators, with additional standing room for larger crowds. The attendance record at South Field has been broken several times in the past few years, most recently in September 2015 when 5,620 fans attended a women's soccer match between host BYU and rival University of Utah.

Due to its well-maintained natural grass playing surface, South Field served as the practice facility for the United States Men's National Soccer Team prior to their World Cup qualifying match against Costa Rica in 2005.
