==History==
Morrone Stadium was built in 1969, and was at the time known as Connecticut Soccer Stadium. Before that, UConn soccer was largely unknown and unpopular. However, at the urging of newly hired soccer and lacrosse coach Joe Morrone (whose name the stadium now bears), a new stadium was built for the team.〔(If You Build it, They Will Come - Daily Campus, September 30, 2008. Accessed August 25, 2011 )〕 The stadium has had a capacity as high as 8,574 but it was restructured in 1994 and again in 2002 to seat 5,564. In 2008, it was again restructured to seat 4,407. In 2009, Morrone Stadium was expanded slightly to 4,500.〔(UConn Huskies 2010 Media Guide for Men's Soccer, access May 22 2011 )〕 As of the 2015 season the current capacity is 5,100.〔()〕 In 1997, the Board of Trustees voted to change the name of the stadium to honor Morrone, who had just retired after coaching soccer for 28 years at UConn. The stadium was officially renamed in 1999 to Joseph J. Morrone Stadium.〔http://www.wcmfund.org/winners/1999/1999.htm〕 In 2008, the Division of Athletics proposed to build a new basketball practice facility on the site of Morrone,〔(Hartford Courant - Practice Facility Update )〕 but that was later changed and it will now be built where the vacant Memorial Stadium now is.〔(Hartford Courant - More Incremental Progress on UConn Facility )〕
As recently as 2006, the women's lacrosse team split games between Morrone and the Sherman Family Sports Complex, also the home of the field hockey and track & field programs. However, in 2007 the team moved to Sherman full-time.〔(UConn Huskies 2009 Women's Lacrosse Media Guide )〕
