Buies Creek, North Carolina may be off the beaten path, but if you're a soccer fan who finds yourself in town, you will want to head to the Eakes Athletics Complex to check out a Campbell Camels soccer game. The team with the quirky nickname has found a fine home here with a fan base to support it, and for good reason. This may not be the fanciest or largest college soccer venue in North Carolina, but it is a hidden gem for those who are in the know.
B. T. Harvey Stadium opened in 1983 and holds a total of 9,000 spectators. While the facility itself has fallen into disrepair, the venue still boasts a great band (the “House of Funk”), wonderful concessions, and fabulous sightlines. Unfortunately, very few fans attend games here.
Despite on-filed success and good attendance, the Eugene Emeralds days may be numbered in this stadium. For now, the Emeralds are committed to play in PK Park though the 2027 season. Beyond that? Stay tuned.
The urban experience, the iconic old school stadium, classic and charming yet modern, the entire neighborhood feel. All of this is what makes a game day at Provence Park stand out as much more than just ordinary.
A couple of guys from a couple of countries drink a couple of beers and talk about stadiums from all over the world. Featuring Dave Cottenie, Paul Baker and occasional special guests.
