UMBC Stadium
In 2008, it also became the home field of Crystal Palace Baltimore, a professional outdoor soccer team that announced plans to become a member of the 2010 incarnation of the North American Soccer League. The NASL's launch was delayed due to a controversy between that league and the United Soccer Leagues. Eventually, the two bodies came to a temporary truce, with the United States Soccer Federation establishing a temporary league, USSF Division 2, for the 2010 season only. Crystal Palace Baltimore plays in this league for 2010. However, midway through the 2010 season, Crystal Palace Baltimore left UMBC and hopped to several different stadiums in the Baltimore area.
The stadium is part of the a complex which also includes The Baseball Factory Field at UMBC and UMBC's softball stadium and is located across the street from the UMBC Event Center and Retriever Soccer Park.
