Yurcak Field is a 5,000 seat soccer-specific stadium on the main campus of Rutgers University–New Brunswick in Piscataway Township, New Jersey. Fully acknowledged as "The Soccer Stadium at Yurcak Field", it is named in honor of Ronald N. Yurcak, a 1965 All-American Rutgers Lacrosse player.[2][3]

The stadium opened on April 16, 1994 and is currently used by the Rutgers Scarlet Knights soccer and lacrosse teams, as well as professional teams of both sports.
