FAU Soccer Stadium is a soccer venue located in Boca Raton, Florida, United States. It has been home to the Florida Atlantic Owls men's and women's soccer teams of the NCAA Division I American Athletic Conference since 1980. It was completed as part of a 10-year development program to create five on-campus soccer fields in conjunction with the Greater Boca Raton Beach Tax District. The stadium features a natural grass playing surface perfect for competition at any level as well as a lighted field to facilitate night games. Renovations began in the spring of 2017 and included new and improved bleachers to seat 1,000.
