The stadium on Howard University's campus is named for a football coach the university hired at 24 years old - and its ground has hosted Bison football for a century. William H. Greene Stadium, on Sixth Street NW at the heart of the Washington, DC campus, is Howard's roughly 10,000-seat home for football, soccer, lacrosse and track and field. Football has been played on the site since the 1926 opening of the original Howard Stadium; the modern facility took shape with a 1986 rebuild that added the current grandstands and was named for Greene, the young coach who led the Bison in the 1920s golden era of Black college football. An eight-lane track rings the artificial-turf field. The stadium's biggest days are institutional: Howard homecoming - one of the most celebrated events in Black America, drawing alumni from Sean Combs to Kamala Harris back to the Yard each October - fills the seats far beyond football, while Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference rivals and now Northeast Conference opponents provide the season's fixtures. The venue has also staged commencements, concerts and community events across its decades. Renovations continue to modernise the plant: new turf and lighting installations have kept the stadium in Division I FCS condition, and the university's master plan folds athletics upgrades into the broader redevelopment of the historic LeDroit Park-Shaw campus edge. Getting there is straightforward: the Shaw-Howard University metro station on the Green and Yellow lines sits a short walk south, and street parking spreads through the surrounding neighbourhood - though on homecoming weekend, transit is the only sane option. The stadium works year-round for a full athletic department: Howard's men's and women's soccer programs - the men's side owns two national championships from the 1970s, the first by any historically Black college - share the field with lacrosse and the track programs, and the eight-lane oval hosts conference meets and community athletics. The tight urban site, wedged between the Yard, the hospital and LeDroit Park rowhouses, makes it one of the most distinctive settings in FCS football.
