Roberts Stadium is a rebuilt 2,356 seat soccer-specific stadium located on the campus of Princeton University in Princeton, New Jersey. It is the home to the Princeton Tigers men's and women's soccer teams.[5]

The stadium is named in honor of Thomas S. Roberts '85, a former Princeton record-holding goalkeeper and lead donor to its construction.[6] The stadium's natural grass game field, "Myslik Field", is named in memory of Robert H. Myslik '90, a soccer alumnus and assistant coach who died in 2003.[7][6][1] The team's artificial turf practice field, "Plummer Field", was adjacent to the stadium.[1]
