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 holds 22,000 people.

As the University of Richmond considers building its own stadium, the city has begun to consider reuse of the site for elderly housing.
