Waldo Stadium

Waldo Stadium is a football facility on the Western Michigan University campus in Kalamazoo with seating for approximately 30,200 spectators. The grounds include concrete stands, a video scoreboard, and artificial playing surface for competition.

The stadium opened in 1939 as a home field for the university team during the Great Depression. Since then, the facility has undergone renovations and improvements to keep pace with modern college football standards.

The Broncos football team has called this venue home since its opening, making it a gathering place for students and supporters on campus. The stadium serves as a focal point for the university's sports identity and community connection.

The stadium is located on the university campus and equipped with modern facilities including the Bill Brown Alumni Football Center with locker rooms and training areas. Visitors should arrive early to find parking and allow time to familiarize themselves with the grounds.

In 2017, heavy rains forced staff to pump over one million gallons of water from the field, resulting in a game postponement. The incident highlighted drainage challenges on the site during extreme weather events.
