Need to Know

Best for
Meade Stadium’s renovation and future URI football planning in Kingston. The east stands were demolished in March 2026; URI’s current project page expects construction through fall 2027. All five URI home football games in 2026 are at Centreville Bank Stadium in Pawtucket. The actual current construction photo and explicitly historical 2019 night image show different phases; neither is a new completed-seat diagram.
Watch out for
URI says the 2027 return to Meade Stadium will require full reseating: former section/row locations are not guaranteed. Seat selection will follow the announced priority process. Current construction status, return timing and new east-side chairback plans remain subject to updates; older facility capacity and east-stand photos do not describe the completed renovation.
