Greene Stadium is a 7,086 seat (10,000-for football) multi-purpose stadium on the campus of Howard University in Washington, D.C., in the United States, which opened in 1926. It is home to the Howard Bison football, men's and women's soccer, and lacrosse teams.

Originally called "Howard Stadium", it was renamed "William H. Greene Stadium" in 1986 in honor of William H. Greene, M.D., a Washington, D.C., physician and Howard University benefactor.[2]
