Memorial Stadium, University stadium in Commerce, United States
Memorial Stadium is a university sports facility in Commerce featuring double-deck grandstands and video systems that can hold around 11,500 spectators. The venue hosts athletic competitions and serves as a home field for student teams throughout the season.
Planning for the stadium began in 1945 when the Ex-Students Association launched a fundraising effort matched by state support. The facility opened in 1950 as a new home for university athletics.
General Douglas MacArthur's quote about victory adorns the stadium's plaque, matching the inscription at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.
Entry follows strict policies at the gate, including restrictions on outside items and re-entry procedures. It is best to plan your visit ahead and review current rules before attending an event.
The playing field displays a large Lion logo across its entire surface, making it one of the most recognizable emblems in college sports. This bold design becomes especially visible during overhead camera shots and broadcasts.
