MSU Soccer Park at Pittser Field is a soccer-specific stadium on the campus of Montclair State University in Montclair, New Jersey. Built on the site of a former baseball field, MSU Soccer Park opened in 1998[1] as the home of Montclair State's men's and women's soccer teams.

From 2007 to 2013, Montclair State was the training site for the Major League Soccer club New York Red Bulls[2] while their Red Bull Training Facility was constructed in nearby Hanover Township, New Jersey. The Red Bulls helped finance the construction of a new field house, as well as the installation of a FieldTurf surface at MSU Soccer Park.

In 2016 it was announced that the Red Bulls' United Soccer League affiliate club, New York Red Bulls II, would move into MSU Soccer Park in 2017.[3] To accommodate the Red Bulls II, MSU Soccer Park will undergo significant renovations to keep the facility in line with stadium standards set by the United States Soccer Federation for lower division professional soccer clubs.[4] MSU Soccer Park's capacity will expand to 3,000 seats for the 2017 season, will expand to 5,000 seats over the course of five years.[5] Further renovations include the construction of new locker rooms.
