Veterans Memorial Stadium, Sport stadium in Long Beach, California, US.
Veterans Memorial Stadium is a sports facility in Long Beach with seating for about 11,600 people arranged on aluminum bench bleachers and fixed chairs, with a nine-lane running track circling the playing field. The venue includes large locker rooms, multiple food stands, and ticket windows for visitors.
The stadium opened in 1948 and was owned by Long Beach for several decades before management changed in 1987. During the 1980s, it became known for a different sporting use that expanded beyond its original purpose.
The stadium hosts Long Beach City College football and local high school teams, serving as a gathering place where students and families from the area come together for games and athletic events.
The location is easy to reach near Interstate 605 with ample parking available on site for visitors. For larger events, it fills up quickly, so arriving early helps you find a good spot.
During the 1980s, the venue hosted motorcycle speedway racing and became a stop for major international competition. This chapter as a racing track is often overlooked by those who know it mainly as a school sports facility.
