The Winthrop Soccer Complex is located on what is referred to as the Winthrop Farm Area, which is the home of the Eagle Athletic Department.  The Stadium is located in a very scenic location across from the Winthrop Lake and at the entrance to the Winthrop Golf Course.  The Complex has five fields including the main Stadium Field. During the first phase which was completed in 1997 the playing area was enclosed, the bench areas were enhanced, and the old irrigation system was replaced with a new top-of-the-line Toro sprinkler system.  In the second phase completed in the Spring of 1998 lights were added to allow for night matches and other events.  The Winthrop Soccer Stadium has been host to several Discoveries Soccer Club and area high school regional championship matches throughout the years.  It has also been the home to the Charlotte Eagles (USL) professional team over the years.  The third phase which was completed in the summer of 2001 added permanent seating, both bleacher and stadium-style chair-back seats (Refer to BUY-A-SEAT-CAMPAIGN), and a state-of-the-art press box.  In this phase, a new state of the art sound system was installed and two new parking areas were added.  In 2003 a message center with a new DAKTRONICS LCD scoreboard along with rotating triplex advertising panels were added.  In 2005, a new field house was constructed. This facility is used by soccer and track which includes locker rooms, storage, public restrooms, concession area and a lounge area for players and club members for soccer.  In the spring of 2008, 800 additional bench style seating with seat backs were added to the press box side of the field.  The total seating capacity is now expanded to 1800.  New dugouts from Pitch Equipment were also added to the bench areas. 

The Field Dimensions are 116 yards X 75 yards.  The surface is Tifway 419 hybrid Bermuda grass with Eagle Blend and Sun Star.
