26 Football FAQ

Due to major renovations at Meade Stadium in Kingston, all five home games in 2026 will be played at the brand-new, state-of-the-art Centreville Bank Stadium in Pawtucket, RI.

While the venue will look and feel different, we’re bringing the full Rhody Ruckus — the student section, band, tailgates, and electric game-day atmosphere you love — to this modern riverside venue just 40 minutes north. It’s a chance to introduce our nationally competitive program to new fans across the state while we build an even better Meade Stadium for the future.

We’re working closely with the Centreville Bank Stadium team to ensure a smooth transition and to address any questions or concerns as quickly as possible. Your patience and continued support as we adapt together are greatly appreciated!

See below for answers to some of the most frequently asked questions (FAQ) we've received so far…

The 2027 season back at Meade Stadium will involve a full reseating process, so there is no way to hold or guarantee your current location.
If you decide not to renew for the 2026 season in Pawtucket, your priority points (based on consecutive years as a season ticket holder, donations to athletics, etc.) will remain unchanged. Those who commit to the 2026 season in Pawtucket will move slightly higher in priority points based on that commitment.
Once the renewal process begins for the 2027 season back in Kingston, current season ticket holders and those looking to become season ticket holders in 2027 will be placed in priority order based on their points and assigned a timeslot to select seats in the renovated stadium.
With the new East stands featuring reserved chairback seating at midfield and being in the sun (versus the shade on the Ryan Center side), we anticipate a good deal of movement from fans looking to upgrade to that premium area. This should open up many seats on the west side and create opportunities for fans to either reclaim their previous locations or potentially improve their seating with the new availability.
The priority system is designed to give loyal, long-time supporters the best possible options when the time comes.
Our Select a Seat process will be announced officially in April. To be included in the seating process, a $25/per seat deposit must be placed by April 15th at 4:00 PM. To place your deposit, click here!
The priority ranking for seat selection will depend on RAM Fund donor level, previous season ticket holder status, and date of deposit. To make a donation to the RAMS Fund, click here!
The Select A Seat Process will begin in late April after the deposit deadline.
Place a $25/per seat deposit for the 2026 season by clicking here. The deadline to be included in seat selection is April 15 at 4:00pm.

All deposits will be applied to the cost of your season tickets.
We will try an accommodate you the best we can. Before the Select a Seat process begins, please give us a call or text at 401 874-7267, or e-mail tickets@theryancenter.com and a ticket representative will reach out to you to help you select your seats.
URI Athletics is currently exploring the option of offering coach bus transportation for the 2026 football season at Centreville Bank Stadium in Pawtucket. The bus would depart from the Ryan Center on the URI Kingston campus and drop fans off at the closest accessible entry point to the stadium, and return to the Ryan Center following the game.
Key details for the bus service:
Bus passes would be available for season ticket holders only
Bus passes would be available for the full season only (not single-game transportation).
Bus passes would be non-transferable.
Depending on the level of interest, the cost of a full-season bus pass would range from $175–$200 for the entire 5 game season ($35 - $40 per game).
Bus would pick up at the Ryan Center at approximately 9:30 on game day and return to the Ryan Center by 5:30 PM. All games are at Noon.
More info coming soon…
