Roos Field is a football stadium on the Eastern Washington University campus with approximately 7,500 seats for games and athletic competitions. The facility includes modern press areas, locker rooms, and public amenities that were updated during renovations.

The stadium opened in 1967 as Woodward Field and was renamed in 2010 to honor Michael Roos for his significant contributions to the facility. This name change recognized his important role in the stadium's development.

The stadium is home to the Eastern Washington Eagles and draws fans and students to home matches where the community gathers together. It has become a meeting place for the university community.

The stadium is easy to locate and well-marked, with adequate parking available for visitors. It is advisable to arrive early, especially for major events, to secure a good spot and explore the surrounding area.

The playing surface features red synthetic turf known as The Inferno, making it one of the few colored fields in college football. This distinctive surface makes the stadium immediately recognizable.
