Stevens Stadium, previously known as Buck Shaw Stadium, was built to host (American) football, soccer, and baseball matches of the Santa Clara University teams. The stadium officially opened on 6 October 1962 with a football match between Santa Clara and Occidental.<\/p>\n
Buck Shaw Stadium was turned into a soccer-specific stadium in 2005, and at the same time extensively renovated and expanded.<\/p>\n
The San Jose Earthquakes used the stadium as their home between 2008 and 2014 when they moved to the new Avaya Stadium<\/a>. Before, they had played their home matches at Spartan Stadium.<\/p>\n The stadium underwent a renovation after the Earthquakes moved out, reducing capacity from just over 10,000 to 7,000 seats. It then also changed name to Stevens Stadium.<\/p>\n Stevens Stadium is currently used for matches of Santa Clara University team Santa Clara Broncos.<\/p>\n Stevens Stadium is located in the city of Santa Clara, at just over 3 miles from downtown San Jose. The stadium is part of the Santa Clara University campus.<\/p>\n If arriving from the Interstate 880, take the Alameda exit and travel north on the Alameda.
