Jeffrey Field is an outdoor soccer stadium on the campus of Pennsylvania State University in University Park, Pennsylvania. It has been home to Penn State Nittany Lions men's and women's soccer teams since 1972. In past years, the stadium also hosted games of Penn State's men's and women's lacrosse teams.

The stadium was dedicated and named after the late Bill Jeffrey, who was Penn State men's soccer head coach from 1926 until 1952. Jeffrey Field had an initial seating capacity of 2,500, but was later increased to 3,000 in 1978. The stadium's capacity was increased again in 2003 to meet rising ticket needs.[7][8]
