Rudd Field is home to the Elon men's and women's soccer teams as well as the women's lacrosse team. Rudd Field undwent renovations in the summer of 2014, as new team dugouts and a new press box were added to the facility.
Rudd Field has hosted some memorable games for both Elon soccer teams. In 2013, a record crowd of 3,348 witnessed the Phoenix men's soccer team advance to the second round of the NCAA Tournament with a thrilling win over Clemson in penalty kicks. The match ended in a 1-1 tie after two overtimes, but Elon managed to win the game on PKs after Jason Waterman shot the game-winner to give his team a 4-1 victory.
The Elon men's program has won three conference championships and made three NCAA Tournament appearances during the school's Division I era, while the women's program won the 1999 Big South Conference Tournament title en route to the program's first NCAA appearance.Â
Both programs regularly host some of the nation's top soccer programs such as Wake Forest, Duke, Clemson, North Carolina State, Charlotte and Virginia Tech.
After playing its first two seasons in Rhodes Stadium, the women's lacrosse program moved to Rudd Field and has hosted national powers North Carolina, Duke, Notre Dame, Stanford and Virginia Tech since making the move. Elon earned an at-large bid to the 2017 NCAA Tournament after reaching the CAA Finals with an overtime victory over second-seeded Towson in Maryland in the CAA Semifinals.
Rudd Field has a seating capacity of 625.
