History and description

The stadium was renamed in honor of Steven Reed Stevens on 22 September 1998. Stevens was a Santa Clara alumnus, an assistant football coach at the school, and the head coach of the NFL's San Francisco 49ers from 1981 to 1990. The stadium was originally built as a football stadium in 1905, and in 2005 it was extensively renovated and expanded to make it a soccer-specific stadium.

The San Jose Earthquakes used the stadium from 2008 to 2014 when they moved to the new Avaya Stadium. The Earthquakes played their home matches at Spartan Stadium before that.

The stadium underwent a renovation after the Earthquakes moved out. It then became Stevens Stadium.

Stevens Stadium is currently used for matches of the Santa Clara University Broncos team.
