The stadium serves as home to men's and women's soccer, as well as men's and women's rugby teams. Hanson Sports was the contractor selected to construct the bleachers at South Field in 2008. The stadium now features a grandstand with seating capacity up to 4,200 spectators, with additional standing room for larger crowds.{{Cite web |title=Soccer Facilities Info|publisher=BYU Athletics|url= https://byucougars.com/facilities/w-soccer|access-date=November 16, 2019 }} The attendance record at South Field has been broken several times in the past few years, most recently in September 2015 when 5,620 fans attended a women's soccer match between host BYU and rival University of Utah.
Due to its well-maintained natural grass playing surface, South Field served as the practice facility for the United States Men's National Soccer Team prior to their World Cup qualifying match against Costa Rica in 2005.
