 Waldo
Stadium
Kalamazoo, MI
Constructed over seven decades
ago, Waldo Stadium is home of the Western Michigan Broncos. In the mid
1930s the Broncos needed a new stadium to play at. By 1937, $250,000
was allotted and construction began on a facility. The following fall
Waldo Stadium was completed. It originally had a seating capacity of
15,000. The stadium was named after the first president of Western
Michigan, Dwight B. Waldo.

The first improvements to the stadium did
not come until 35 years after its opening. In 1973 Astroturf was
installed and the seating capacity was increased to 25,000. Waldo
Stadium got its current capacity, 30,200 with an expansion in 1989.
Lights were installed in 1993 and two years later the pressbox was
expanded to include 325 club seats. The Bill Brown Alumni Football
Center was constructed in 1998 to house offices and suites for the
team. Nexturf replaced the Astroturf in 2001 and before the 2003
season, the east end of the stadium was enclosed with the construction
of the Donald J. Seelye Athletic Center. A new video/scoreboard was
installed on the west side during this expansion.
