Robins Stadium

Gameday At Robins Stadium

371 College Road
Richmond, VA 23173


Opened for the 2010-11 season, state-of-the-art Robins Stadium is an 8,700-seat on-campus facility that serves as the home for Spider football, men's lacrosse, women's lacrosse and track and field. 
 
The stadium bears the name E. Claiborne Robins in honor of the decades of generous support that the Robins family and the Robins Foundation have provided to the University, including athletics.
 
Standing alongside the Robins Center, Robins Stadium boasts state-of-the-art AstroTurf that was installed in the summer of 2019.
 
The Fred Hardy Track which surrounds the field was completely replaced in the summer of 2019 by Benyon Sports Surfaces, a world leader in track & field facilities. The color was changed to the current scheme with blue lanes highlighted by red exchange zones. 
 
The University of Richmond athletics department installed of a new, state-of-the-art LED video board at Robins Stadium during the 2021 fall season. The new LED video board replaced the original video board at Robins Stadium that was installed upon opening in 2010. The new board encompasses video throughout the entire board, measuring 60 feet wide and almost 28 feet tall and it overlaps the previous video board footprint. The video board runs 1800x828 pixels with a pixel pitch of 10-milimeter pixel spacing on full LED. 

The sound system was replaced prior to the start of the 2022 season. 
 
The University's on-campus stadium was named E. Claiborne Robins Stadium in 2009 upon opening and has been ranked as one of the top stadiums in all of FCS Football and the top track field stadium venue in Virginia.
 
A series of suites sits atop the west stands while a press box accommodating media, coaches, and game operations sits above the east stands.  Light towers standing 110 feet high and focused directly onto the field of play allows for the flexibility of night games and competitions.
 
Football returned to campus for the first time since 1928 when it hosted Elon Sept. 18, 2010 in its inaugural game at Robins Stadium.  The Spiders won in overtime, 27-21, in front of a sellout crowd.

Robins Stadium hosts men's and women's lacrosse games in the Spring.  The Fred Hardy Invitational track meet is held annually in the spring at Robins Stadium/Fred Hardy Track and attracts track & field programs from across the U.S.
 
Robins Stadium was designed and built using the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) rating standards and has earned the LEED Silver Rating.
