Alfonso Field at FIU Stadium (often shortened to FIU Stadium and known informally known as The Cage) is a college football stadium on the campus of Florida International University (FIU) in Miami, Florida and the home stadium of the FIU Panthers football team. The stadium opened in 1995, replacing nearby Tamiami Field, which was used as a recreational field by the university and local high school football teams. When FIU began its football program in 2002, FIU Stadium became the home venue for the team.
