Stevenson–Pincince Field is a stadium in Providence, Rhode Island, on the campus of Brown University. It is home to the Brown Bears soccer and lacrosse programs.

Name

The stadium was named in 1979 for longtime men's soccer coach Cliff Stevenson, who was successful in establishing a men's soccer program at Brown during the 1960s.{{cite web|url=https://www.brown.edu/Administration/News_Bureau/Databases/Encyclopedia/search.php?serial=A0130 |title=Encyclopedia Brunoniana |publisher=Brown University Library |year=1993 |access-date=2011-12-12}} In 2015, the facility was renamed Stevenson–Pincince Field to also honor longtime women's soccer coach Phil Pincince.{{cite web |url=https://brownbears.com/facilities/stevenson-pincince-field/16 |title=Brown Athletics Facilities |publisher=Brown University Athletics |access-date=2021-03-15}}
