Stuart Field was a stadium at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana, United States. It was the home field of the Purdue Boilermakers football team from 1892 until 1924 when Ross–Ade Stadium opened.[1] Purdue's baseball team continued to play at Stuart Field until 1939. The Elliott Hall of Music is located at Stuart Field's former site,[2] while the west grand stand of the field was adjacent to the Purdue Armory.[3]
The field was dedicated on April 16, 1892,[4] and named for Charles B. and William V. Stuart, two brothers who served on the university's board of trustees.[5] Originally a seven-acre[5] (2.8 ha) field with 800 seats,[4] by the 1910s it was expanded to twice that area[5] and a seating capacity of 5,000.[6] Stuart Field was also used for special events, including a biplane demonstration on June 13, 1911, which attracted 17,000 spectators.[6]
