Weidner Field, Soccer stadium in Colorado Springs, United States
Weidner Field is a soccer stadium in downtown Colorado Springs, United States. It has 8,000 seats and serves as the home of the Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC.
The stadium opened in 2021, replacing an older venue of the same name on the east side of the city. It was part of a larger effort to revitalize downtown Colorado Springs and was built on the site of a former parking lot.
The supporters section behind the south goal, called Base Camp, is where the most vocal fans gather with flags and drums. On match days, the area around the main entrance fills with people in team colors, and the giant Saturn sculpture becomes a meeting point.
The stadium sits in the downtown area, so you can walk to nearby bars and restaurants before or after an event. The free ZEB shuttle stops close by, making it easy to reach without driving.
The playing surface is made with coconut fibers and cork, a mix that stays cooler in the sun than standard artificial turf. It was the first field of its kind approved for professional soccer anywhere in the world.
