The Stadium at Memorial Field is a multi-purpose stadium located in Mount Vernon, New York.
The stadium is home to USL League One club Westchester SC, and has a capacity of 3,900.
History
Early uses
The stadium opened in 1931, and was used by local high schools and youth sporting events. Additionally, the stadium hosted boxing matches and concerts, including The Jackson 5 and James Brown.
However, in the late 1900s, the stadium was in a state of disrepair.
Renovations
In 2022, the field reopened after a $40 million renovation project that included renovated locker rooms, concessions, and facilities.
The first athletic event to be held at the newly renovated stadium was a high school football game between Mount Vernon High School and Yonkers Force co-op. Mount Vernon won 32 to 24.
The stadium is also home to the Monroe University football team.
Westchester SC, a professional soccer team set to make their debut in 2025, will play their home matches at the stadium.
