ELIZABETH DEE SHAW
STEWART STADIUM
Located on a hillside id above the city of Ogden, and
with the waters of the Great Salt Lake shimmering
in the distance, there are few stadiums anywhere
which can match the natural surroundings as well
as Elizabeth Dee Shaw Stewart Stadium located on
the campus of Weber State University. With recent
improvements and upgrades, Stewart Stadium is
now one of the fi nest stadiums in all of Division I
FCS football.
In 2011 a new state-of-the-art artifi cial turf fi eld
and a new track were installed at Stewart Stadium,
thanks to a generous donation from Robert and Annette
Marquardt. A new effi cient lighting system has
also been installed which has created more light on
nighttime events.
Weber State opened a new 38,000 square foot Sky
Suites & Press Box complex in 2001. The facility includes
26 sky suites, club seating, a press box facility
for media and game operations as well as meeting
spaces. The Sky Suites and Press Box complex was
built thanks to a generous donation from the Stewart
Education Foundation. Since opening in 2001 the
facility has hosted many campus and community
meetings and events, as well as weddings, dances
and other outside events.
Stewart Stadium seats 17,500 fans and is also the
home of the Weber State Athletic Department offi ces.
The facility also features a study area specifi cally for
all WSU student-athletes. Full football locker rooms
and new training rooms also add to the amenities of
the stadium.

football and track and field long since the 1950’s when
