Memorial Stadium
Honorific sports venue
Memorial Stadium is a common name for sports venues built to honor those who died in military service, particularly after World War I and World War II.
Dozens exist across the United States, typically associated with universities or cities: The Huskers play at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln.
The name reflects a mid-twentieth-century tradition of commemorating sacrifice through civic architecture rather than monuments alone.
