Wallace Wade Stadium is home to the Duke Blue Devils Football team. The historic stadium is located on Duke's West Campus, where is was erected in 1929. Wallace Wade Stadium has a seating capacity of 33,941 and, though primarily used for football and track and field events, the stadium has been used for many concerts as well.

The centerpiece of Wallace Wade Stadium is its natural grass football field, which is ringed by an eight lane, 400 meter Olympic-sized track. The stadium is handicapped accessible.

Wallace Wade Stadium began its history as Duke Stadium, but was renamed in 1967, to honor Duke Football Coach William Wallace Wade, who coached the Blue Devils to 110 wins over 16 seasons.

Wallace Wade Stadium is located at 290 Frank Bassett Road Durham, NC, 27708, next to the Murray Building and the Duke Aquatic Center.
