The USF Soccer Stadium was built in 1978. The stadium is currently home to the men's and women's track and field teams from the University of South Florida in Tampa, Florida. It also hosted the school's men's and women's soccer programs through the end of their 2010 seasons. The 4,000 capacity stadium has hosted several events throughout the years including Lamar Hunt US Open Cup matches, the C-USA soccer tournaments for Men and Women, the NCAA Men's Soccer Championship final twice, and the C-USA track and field championships as well. In 1984, when Tampa hosted its first Super Bowl, the Washington Redskins practiced at the stadium. Concerned about the lack of privacy at the stadium, the Redskins purchased a green tarpaulin that was attached to the fence around the stadium. The Redskins donated the tarp to the university and it remained in use for many years. In the mid-1980s the stadium hosted preseason training for the New Jersey Generals of the United States Football League (USFL), including stars Herschel Walker and Brian Sipe. The Generals' players stayed and dined at nearby Fontana Hall. In 1991, Claudio Reyna led the Bruce Arena-coached Virginia Cavaliers to a penalty kicks victory over the Santa Clara Broncos for the NCAA Div. I title in the last championship hosted at the stadium. The Tampa Bay Rowdies played one 1990〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Image: 1990-8-10+Rowdies+vs+Bays+PO+Report.jpg, (1063 × 786 px) )〕 playoff game there before using the facility full-time in 1991〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Strikers Look Bad, But Still Sneak By Rowdies 1-0 - tribunedigital-sunsentinel )〕 and 1992〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=APSL 1992 Season )〕 for home games while playing in the American Professional Soccer League. The Tampa Bay Cyclones of the USISL played most of their home games there in 1995 and 1996 before moving to Jacksonville. In 2008, the stadium was remodeled using funds from USF and Hillsborough County. The renovations included new lighting, a new state-of-the-art Mondo track surface, and a new electronic scoreboard. In the fall of 2010, USF began construction on a new soccer stadium. The new Corbett Soccer Stadium hosted its first match on August 23, 2011, as the Bulls men's team defeated the crosstown rival University of Tampa Spartans by a score of 2–1 in the annual preseason Rowdies Cup.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=USF soccer begins new era with Corbett Soccer Stadium | The Oracle )〕 The original stadium remains in use as a track and field facility and for other events. == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「USF Soccer Stadium」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
