It was previously known as Pomoco Stadium, until it was renamed in 2019, five years after TowneBank pledged a gift of $1,000,000 in 2014 to support CNU's Comprehensive Campaign.[2][3]

The stadium opened in 2001 without the now-present permanent concession stands or restrooms, lights, press box or video board. The concession stands, restrooms and press box were added in 2003.[4] Lights were added in 2011.[5] The 312 square foot video board debuted in 2015.[6]

TowneBank Stadium has a maximum seating capacity of 4,200, with the largest crowd ever on-hand of 6,135 occurring during the inaugural game against Salisbury University on September 1, 2001.[1] Lionsbridge FC welcomed its 50,000th fan to TowneBank Stadium in 2022.
