New KSU Stadium is a description of a soccer-specific stadium near Kennesaw, Georgia that opened in 2010. It is primarily used for soccer, and is a joint venture between Kennesaw State University and the Atlanta Beat of Women's Professional Soccer. The stadium hosts both the KSU women's soccer team (the school does not sponsor a varsity men's team) and the Beat. Its capacity for soccer is 8,300, but it can hold up to 16,000 for concerts.
When the stadium was announced, it was claimed to be the first major stadium in the world dedicated to women's soccer. Although the stadium is partially owned by KSU, it is not built on university land, allowing alcohol to be sold during Beat home games and concerts.
