Brooks Field at Wallace Wade Stadium
Brooks Field at Wallace Wade Stadium has served as the home of the Duke Blue Devils since 1929. Named for legendary Duke head coach Wallace Wade, who led the Blue Devils to a 110-36-7 record and two Rose Bowl appearances, the stadium is horseshoe-shaped in structure and nestled among the greenery and towering pines of the surrounding Duke forest.
Originally, known as Duke Stadium, the facility opened October 5, 1929, with Pittsburgh defeating Duke in front of 25,000 spectators. In July of 1967, Duke's Board of Trustees approved the renaming of the stadium to honor Wade with the dedication September 30, 1967. The stadium's largest crowd was November 19, 1949, with 57,500 people witnessing the annual Duke-North Carolina game
The stadium also owns a special niche in college football history as one of only two facilities outside Pasadena, Calif., to host the Rose Bowl. The 1942 Rose Bowl came to Durham during World War II with Oregon State defeating Duke 20-16. In honor of that occasion, rose bushes from the Tournament of Roses Committee flank the bust of Wallace Wade at the stadium entrance.
Duke University and Duke University Athletics are committed to promoting a safe environment for all game day guests. Guests are encouraged to make the right choice for their own safety and the safety of others around them.
