Nearly one year after breaking ground in University Park, the future home of USC women’s soccer and lacrosse is starting to take shape.

Rawlinson Stadium, located on what was previously Soni McAlister Field at 3000 S. Hoover Street, is a $38-million project consisting of a three-story structure with space for 2,500 fans - more than doubling the capacity of McAlister Field. Plans also call for a press box, a box office, concession stands, an entry plaza, an LED video screen, locker rooms for both the soccer and lacrosse teams, meeting rooms, and facilities for sports medicine.

Crawford is designing the stadium, per a landing page on the firm's website. The stadium includes the signature red brick exterior that adorns many of the buildings on the USC campus.

Clark Construction is the project's general contractor.

At the time the project was announced, it was expected that completion would occur within two years. That puts the debut of Rawlinson Field on track to occur sometime in 2026.
