Bearcat Stadium

Bearcat Stadium is a sports venue on the Northwest Missouri State University campus that hosts football games and track events. It features an artificial playing surface, a modern video display for replays, chairback seating sections, and concession areas for spectators.

The facility was built in 1917 as Memorial Stadium and renamed Bearcat Stadium in 2004 following a major renovation. The upgrade was funded through donations from university alumni.

Students and residents gather here to watch football and cheer for the home team together. The stadium serves as a gathering place where the university community shares traditions and builds connections.

The venue offers accessible entrances, nearby parking areas, and food concession stands for visitor convenience. Arriving early helps secure a good parking spot and better seating choices.

This venue holds the distinction of being the oldest continuously used site for an NCAA Division II team in the United States. Such a long span of unbroken athletic tradition makes it historically significant among college sports facilities.
