Dedicated on April 16, 1994, the stadium is officially named “The Soccer Stadium at Yurcak Field” in honor of Ronald N. Yurcak, a 1965 All-American Rutgers lacrosse player who made a generous donation to the university.
In March 2019, Yurcak Field underwent a surface renovation, as the pitch was replaced with 100-percent Kentucky Bluegrass, cut at 7/8 inch and placed on a sand base surface. The grass was provided by Tuckahoe Turf Farm in New Jersey.
Featuring a 120' x 75' playing surface, the stadium is complete with state-of-the-art irrigation and drainage systems. It also features a permanent lighting system, a ticket office/concession building, home and visitor dressing rooms, and a modern press box that has camera platforms and the capability of handling 30 media personnel for both TV and radio broadcasts. The fully-lit stadium not only houses 5,000 fans in its spacious grandstand, but is also capable of holding several thousand more across the field in the stadium's berm area.
Recognized as one of the premier soccer facilities in America, Yurcak Field is a model for other colleges and universities. Yurcak Field has hosted some of the largest crowds to see college soccer in America, including several of over 5,000 fans. The field is also home to the NWSL’s New Jersey club, Sky Blue FC.
