Elizabeth Dee Shaw Stewart Stadium is an outdoor multi-purpose stadium located on the campus of Weber State University in Ogden, Utah. Formerly known as Wildcat Stadium, it was renamed in 1998 for Stewart (1905–1996),[2] a notable campus and community benefactor.[3][4]

Used primarily for football, the 17,312-seat venue is the home of the Weber State Wildcats of the Big Sky Conference. It was expanded in 1966 with the construction of the west grandstand, nearly doubling its capacity.[1][5] The elevation of its synthetic turf playing field is 4,760 feet (1,450 m) above sea level; the field was natural grass until 2011.
