Rio Grande Valley FC Toros (USLC) (2017–2023)

H-E-B Park is a soccer-specific stadium in Edinburg, Texas. It served as the home of Rio Grande Valley FC Toros of the USL Championship, the second level of the US/Canadian professional soccer pyramid. 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 October 2023, it was announced that UTRGV would play most of their college football home games in the stadium, beginning with their exhibition season in 2024.[6]
