Roy Stewart Stadium, Football stadium in Murray, Kentucky, US.
Roy Stewart Stadium includes a seven-floor building with athletic offices, locker rooms, and meeting spaces for football and track and field teams.
The stadium opened its doors on September 15, 1973, with Murray State University securing a victory against Western Carolina University with a score of 27-25.
