Bethpage Federal Credit Union Stadium
Greenvale, United States
Formerly: Shark Stadium
Bethpage Federal Credit Union Stadium sits in Greenvale, though it is often associated with the nearby hamlet of Old Westbury, where the Long Island University campus is situated. It stands on land transferred to the university by the county. The structure holds 6,000 spectators, a capacity reached after renovations upgraded the visiting stands to replace the original ones. It is not a sprawling arena; it is a specific box for a specific set of teams.
The ground opened in 2014, after construction delays pushed the date back from the original plan. There were no other commercial names in between. The teams that call it home—football, lacrosse, and field hockey—have little to do with the New York Cosmos, who play in New Jersey, or the university soccer side, which plays elsewhere on campus. This is not a stadium for concerts or high-profile finals. It is for the regular grind of college sport, for matches against teams like Lehigh and Wagner.
Outside, the grounds are clean, but the atmosphere is dictated by the season rather than a legendary crowd. The surface is natural, and the lines are white.
