Marquette Stadium was an outdoor athletic stadium in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States. Opened in 1924, the stadium hosted Marquette University sports programs, including the Golden Avalanche football team and the university's track and field team. It had a seating capacity of 24,000, which could be expanded to 30,000 with temporary bleachers. Marquette Stadium hosted the National Football League's (NFL) Green Bay Packers for three games during the 1952 season. Starting in 1933, the Packers split their home games between Green Bay, Wisconsin, and Milwaukee, using Wisconsin State Fair Park until 1951. Milwaukee County Stadium was not complete in time for the 1952 season, so the Packers played one season at Marquette Stadium.
In 1960, Marquette discontinued its football program, citing financial challenges. The stadium continued to be used for collegiate athletic events, although the bleachers were demolished in 1976. In 1998, the land was sold to Marquette University High School, who then developed it into athletic fields called Quad Park. Quad Park hosts soccer and track and field, among other sports.
