Marquette Stadium was an outdoor athletic stadium in Milwaukee , Wisconsin , the home field of the Golden Avalanche of Marquette University , its intercollegiate football team. Located in the Merrill Park neighborhood west of the university,[3] seating capacity of 24,000 at its peak.[1] 1960 .[4] [5] [6] [7] [1]
The National Football League 's Green Bay Packers played several home games per year in the Milwaukee area for 62 seasons, from 1933 through 1994 . Marquette Stadium hosted three games during the 1952 season; Packer games in Milwaukee were moved to nearby County Stadium when it opened in 1953 .[8]
In addition to football, the stadium was also the home of the Marquette track and field team, which included Olympian Ralph Metcalfe , one of the fastest humans in the early 1930s. Olympic great Jesse Owens made several appearances while a collegian at Ohio State University .[9]
The site was refurbished in 1998 into the Quad Park track and soccer complex,[9] Marquette University High School , a few blocks to the northeast. The current field and track are slightly west of the originals at Marquette Stadium.
