Regal Stadium is a soccer-specific stadium in Knoxville, Tennessee. This stadium hosts the Tennessee Lady Volunteers Soccer Team in the NCAA, and One Knoxville SC in USL League One. The stadium is located on the University of Tennessee's campus, adjacent to Sherri Parker Lee Stadium, home of the Tennessee Lady Vols Softball Stadium. The stadium has a maximum capacity of 3,000 fans.[1]
The stadium's initial name was the Tennessee Soccer Complex, but was changed to its current name after a donation from Regal Cinemas in 2007.[2]
One Knoxville SC uses this stadium as a temporary venue before the new ground, hosted in Old City in Downtown Knoxville, opens in 2025. The new stadium will also host the Tennessee Smokies, a Double A affiliate of the Chicago Cubs.[3]
Opening
Opening day of the facility was August 30, 1996. The Lady Vols played host to the Chattanooga Mocs, where 2,631 saw the game.
Public transportation
The University of Tennessee has gameday buses that travel from the school's agricultural campus to the stadium.

The record attendance at the stadium is when Tennessee Lady Vols hosted then No.1 ranked North Carolina Tar Heels in front of 3,042 fans in the 2001 season.[4]
One Knoxville SC achieved their club's attendance record on their home opener against rival Lexington SC in front of 2,512 fans on March 18, 2023.[5]
