Wallace Wade Stadium

In 1971, the Grateful Dead played there, and 35 years later, the Rolling Stones drew more than 35,000 fans. But for the most part, since it opened in 1929 as Duke Stadium, Brooks Field at Wallace Wade Stadium has been home to the Blue Devils. It’s eponymously named for Duke’s head coach from 1931-1941 and 1946-1950. Wallace Wade led the Blue Devils to a 110-36-7 record and two Rose Bowl appearances.
