Ross-Ade Stadium

Ross-Ade Stadium is the football home of the Purdue Boilermakers in West Lafayette, Indiana. It is the centerpiece of Purdue's Big Ten football game days, set on a wooded campus site that gives it a classic, tree-lined college-football backdrop. Its horseshoe bowl and student section create a solid home-field atmosphere for Boilermaker football.

Opened in 1924 and named for benefactors David Ross and George Ade, the stadium has hosted Purdue's 'Cradle of Quarterbacks' tradition, which produced NFL and Hall of Fame passers over the decades. It is also home to the Old Oaken Bucket rivalry game against Indiana, one of the oldest trophy rivalries in college football. Numerous renovations over the past century have modernized the stadium while preserving its historic footprint near the Purdue Memorial Union.
