It was originally a soccer-specific stadium near Kennesaw, Georgia that opened on May 2, 2010, with the first match played on May 9. It was primarily used for soccer, and hosts lacrosse and rugby games. The facility is the result of a public-private partnership between Kennesaw State University and the now-defunct Atlanta Beat of Women's Professional Soccer. The facility hosts the KSU women's soccer team; previously, it hosted the Beat, and hosted the 2010 WPS All-Star Game on June 30.[1] Pro soccer returned when Atlanta United 2 of the USL Championship moved to the stadium for the 2019 season.[2] The stadium hosted a 2019 CONCACAF Champions League match, where Atlanta United played against Herediano on February 28, 2019 and won 4-0. The stadium's capacity for soccer is 8,318. It has a stage at one end to facilitate concerts, and can hold up to 16,316 for that purpose. StadiumThe bowl-shaped stadium –– built on {{convert|21|acre|m2}} of land east of the Chastain Road exit off of Interstate 75, about a mile from Kennesaw State’s main campus –– is the latest addition to the KSU Sports & Entertainment Park, which opened in fall 2009 to expand the university’s facilities for intramural and club sports. The stadium will help showcase varsity athletics at KSU, which completed its transition into NCAA Division I last year. The {{convert|6.5|acre|m2}} on which the stadium sits is part of {{convert|88|acre|m2}} acquired for the university by the KSU Foundation in 2008 and 2009, which now are being developed into athletics facilities for the university’s growing student population. The remaining area around the new stadium has been developed into soccer fields, intramural fields, a rugby field, and a track and nearly {{convert|5000|ft|m}} of nature and hiking trails. FootballIn September 2010, KSU announced that it planned to launch a football program at the Division I FCS level in 2014, and would use the stadium as its home field.[3] On February 14, KSU announced that the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia approved the University’s request to add football to its 17-sport NCAA Division I intercollegiate athletics program. On September 12, 2015, Kennesaw State played their first home football game at Fifth Third Bank Stadium with 9,506 in attendance, defeating the Edward Waters Tigers, 58-7. RugbyThe stadium hosted a round of the 2013–14 IRB Women's Sevens World Series on February 15–16, 2014. The second half of a home-and-home series of rugby matches between the United States and Uruguay as part of the qualification for the 2015 Rugby World Cup in England was played here on March 29, 2014.[4] The United States won the match 32–13 to win the qualification spot on two-match aggregate 59-40. The stadium hosted the United States when they played Georgia on June 17, 2017. The Eagles lost to Georgia 21–17.[5] Th Renovation and renamingThrough a multimillion-dollar, multi-year sponsorship agreement with the Fifth Third Bank's Georgia regional office, KSU Stadium will become Fifth Third Bank Stadium. Renovations to expand the 8,300-seat stadium to accommodate over 10,000 seats will be made prior to the football team’s inaugural season. [6]See also
