FIU STADIUM

WSPE-217

FIU Golden Panthers (NCAA) (1995-present) Miami FC (USL) (2009- )

FIU Stadium (or "The Cage") is the stadium for the FIU Golden Panthers football team, and is located in Miami, Florida. The facility opened in 1995, replacing nearby Tamiami Field, which was used for many years as a university recreation field and by local high school football teams. When FIU began its football program in 2002, FIU Stadium became the home venue for the team and has remained that way since. As of the 2008 season, FIU Stadium is solely used by the football team as the FIU track and field teams no longer use the facility.

With the removal of the track, the artificial turf field now meets the dimensions prescribed by FIFA for a full soccer field. FIU was cited as a location for a possible Major League Soccer expansion franchise, but the deal for a new team in Miami fell through. It has been chosen to host games for the 2009 CONCACAF Gold Cup, the biennial competition of North America and Central America's national soccer teams, on July 10, 2009.
