Brooks Field at Wallace Wade Stadium has been home of the Duke Blue Devils since 1929, designed by architect Horace Trumbauer. Originally named Duke stadium, it was renamed in 1967 for the legendary Wallace Wade (1892-1986) who served as head football coach and athletic director, 1931-1941 and again 1946-1950. After removal of the track in 2015, the field was named Brooks Field. The current capacity is 40,004. Most notably, on New Year‘s Day, 1942, Wallace Wade hosted the Rose Bowl. The renovations from 2014-2017 added more seating, bringing the current capacity to 40,004, and the five-story, 90,000 square foot Blue Devil Tower.

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.
