Robert and Janet Vackar Stadium (formerly H.E.B. Park) is a stadium in Edinburg, Texas. It served as the home of Rio Grande Valley FC Toros of the USL Championship from 2017 to 2023, and currently serves as the home of the UTRGV Vaqueros football team. The stadium has two stands with orange seats covered with a roof and a capacity of 9,735.
The stadium was originally intended to be complete before the 2016 USL season.[3] Toros played C.F. Monterrey from Mexico on March 22, 2017, to inaugurate their new stadium.[4] The Toros lost their exhibition match against Rayados 3–0 before a sellout crowd.[5]
In February 2024, the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley announced that it had acquired the stadium for use as the primary venue for the new UTRGV Vaqueros football team, which begins play in 2025.[6] It was renamed after longtime UTRGV donors Robert and Janet Vackar on March 21, 2024.[7]
