A.J. Simeon Stadium is a 15,000-capacity[1] multi-use stadium in High Point, North Carolina. It is named after Anthony James Simeon (1910–2004), a former North Carolina Athletic Director of the Year.[2] Simeon Stadium is the home of the High Point Central High School and T. Wingate Andrews High School football and soccer events. The stadium was also the home of the Carolina Dynamo professional soccer team of the USL Premier Development League from 1996 to 1999, and the Carolina Phoenix women's football team at various times. Currently, the stadium is home to the John Wesley University men's and women's soccer teams.[3]
