Floyd Casey Stadium
Waco, TX

Unlike many other stadiums since their openings, Floyd Casey Stadium has changed very little since 1950. Originally playing at Waco/Municipal Stadium for several years before moving, support began to build for a new stadium for the Baylor Bears in the late 1940’s. Baylor decided to construct a new stadium for the team and sold bonds to raise $1.5 million for construction. Originally known as Baylor Stadium, it was ready by the 1950 season and the Bears played their first game there on September 30, 1950 verse the Houston Cougars.
 

Throughout the more than five decades the stadium has changed very little. In 1972, Astroturf replaced the grass field and during the 1970’s the Letterman’s Lounge was built. Baylor Stadium was renamed Floyd Casey Stadium in 1988 after a large donation from Carl Casey who wanted to honor his father. Throughout the 1990’s, lights were installed, the exterior was sandblasted and painted, grass was installed replacing the Astroturf, and a new press box housing luxury suites was constructed. The latest addition came before the 2002 season when a new video/scoreboard was installed at the south end zone. Today as when it opened, Floyd Casey Stadium has a capacity of 50,000.
