Riddick Stadium, University stadium in Raleigh, United States
Riddick Stadium was a football venue for North Carolina State University featuring wooden bleachers and concrete seating for around 23,000 spectators. The facility provided different seating options where students and visitors watched university matches.
The stadium opened in 1907 and served North Carolina State University as a football home for nearly 60 years. In 1965, the university moved to the new Carter-Finley Stadium, and the original site was gradually taken out of service.
The venue carries the name of Wallace Carl Riddick, a civil engineering professor who coached football and later led North Carolina State University as its president.
The site of the former stadium is now occupied by other buildings and is not accessible as a sports venue to visitors. Those interested in university history can check with campus information for tours or details about the original location.
During the 1940s, parts of the stadium structure doubled as student housing while the facility remained active for games. This dual use shows how creatively the space was adapted to meet university needs during that era.
