Summers-Taylor Stadium

Located on the west side of the University campus is the home field of the Bucs, Summers-Taylor Stadium. The stadium, which debuted in 2008, was made possible by the considerable contribution made by the Summers family. The Summers’ daughter Lena Summers was a member of the ETSU women’s soccer team from 1998-2002.

Summers-Taylor Stadium's west side houses permanent stands that hold 1,000 fans, with an open area burn placed on the east side of the field. It is equipped with a press box, hospitality suites and an electronic scoreboard/message center. The press box houses both the scoreboard operating system and the public address system as well as room to comfortably seat over 10 members of the media.

The men’s team will be entering its third season at the state-of-the-art facility, while the women’s team will enjoy their fourth season at Summers-Taylor Stadium. The facility includes a Bermuda style natural-grass playing field equipped with a state-of-the-art drainage system capable of removing up to six inches of water within a 24-hour period. There is also a concession stand for the fans and restrooms for both men and women on the north side of the stadium.

The largest crowd to attend an ETSU home outdoor athletic event at the stadium was 1,311 on Aug. 29, 2008, for the first ever men’s soccer match against Appalachian State.

There is also a practice field located behind the grandstand, with the addition of a second practice field to be completed in the near future. ETSU athletics has an outstanding field crew who keep the facility in great condition, making the complex one of the premier collegiate soccer venues in the country.
