William Rolland Stadium
William Rolland Stadium was completed in the fall of 2011 and was designed to meet NCAA standards.
There are approximately 2,000 fixed seats in the bleacher structure with an additional 1,000 on the opposite side of the field.
In April of 2024, FIFA official artificial turf was placed to welcome VCFC home, thus making the stadium built for professional soccer.
The entrance of the stadium now features the “VIP Area” for exclusive access that makes fans feel like they are in the game.
The 2025 season will introduce the second story of the stadium for fans to get an incredible view of the pitch as the sun sets behind the mountains.
The facility also includes an art gallery, coaches offices, locker rooms, meeting rooms and treatment/taping facilities.
Named for the generous lead donor William Rolland, the stadium is located on the north side of Olsen Road, west of the Gilbert Sports and Fitness Center.
