SECU Stadium, affectionately known as "The Shell" to Terrapins fans, is an outdoor athletic stadium on the campus of the University of Maryland in College Park, Maryland. It is the home of the Maryland Terrapins football and lacrosse teams, which compete in the Atlantic Coast Conference. The facility was named after Harry "Curley" Byrd, a multi-sport athlete, football coach, and university president in the first half of the 20th century. In August 2006, naming rights were sold to Chevy Chase Bank, subsequently acquired by Capital One. In 2015, the student government association agreed to a resolution in support of removing "Byrd" from the stadium's name because of Byrd's segregationist history. On September 16, 2022, the university announced that the stadium would be renamed SECU Stadium as part of a 10-year deal between the credit union and the university.
