Memorial Stadium was a stadium in Storrs, Connecticut. It was primarily used for American football, and was the home field of the University of Connecticut football team between 1953 and 2002. The team's current home is Rentschler Field in East Hartford. It was built for Uconn's move up to D-1A (FBS) in football.
The stadium held 16,200 people and was built in 1953. It was demolished in May 2012 to make way for a new $40 million basketball practice facility, the Uconn Basketball Champions Center, which opened in 2014.
