Where Memorial Stadium Is in Terre Haute
Memorial Stadium stands at the corner of Brown Avenue and Wabash Avenue, east of the Indiana State University campus. The address is 3300 Wabash Avenue, Terre Haute, IN 47803.
Construction began in 1924. At the public dedication on May 5, 1925, the Terre Haute Tots played the Peoria Tractors before an estimated 9,000 people. Indiana State University acquired the stadium in 1967, and its football team has played there since that season. The women’s soccer program began using the venue in 2009.
A 1967 renovation changed the field’s orientation from north–south to east–west and added about 4,500 bleacher seats on the north side. FieldTurf was installed before the 2018 season; the facility also has football and women’s soccer locker rooms and a renovated press box.
