Source-derived summary

UC Riverside Soccer Stadium is a 1,000 seat soccer stadium on the campus of University of California, Riverside in Riverside, California.

History

The fields where the UC Riverside Soccer Stadium stands were the original home of the UC Riverside Highlanders men’s soccer team during its first incarnation from the 1960s to the early 1980s. It also served as the home to the UC Riverside Highlanders baseball team.

Upon completion of the stadium, all 900 seats were located on the west-side of the stadium. The soccer team benches are located across the field on the east-side.

Renovations

The stadium's field was replaced with TigerTurf artificial grass in the summer of 2007. UC Riverside officially dedicated the field on 28 August 2008. With the installation of the synthetic grass, the men's soccer and women's soccer teams are able to practice and play on the same field without causing damage as can be the case with natural grass.

In the spring and summer of 2008, additional renovations were made to UC Riverside Soccer Stadium. A state-of-the-art scoreboard was added and improvements to the lighting at the stadium were completed.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “soccer stadium in Riverside, California” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 31, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q14684199. Authority coordinates are 33.977, -117.329. None of the 2 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2007 and 2008.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
