QU Stadium

QU Stadium received a $4 million renovation, announced in December 2014, that upgraded the entire facility into what is now known as "The Rock." With the renovations came a Shaw Sports Turf synthetic surface, a four-story press box with five luxury suites, new grandstands that include 250 chairback seats available in season ticket packages and a 14-by-48-foot video board with a separate scoreboard perched atop it. The Hawks NCAA Football program made their return to QU Stadium on Sept. 19 in front of nearly 3,000 fans as the home team topped Lincoln, 42-37.

The Rock is not only the home for your QU Sprint football team, but it also houses the QU Men’s and Women’s Lacrosse programs. QU Stadium was the home for Hawks athletic teams from its reinstatement in 1986 through the 2010 season when the facility came into disrepair.

The QU Sprint Football program played it’s first ever game at The Rock on October 1, 2022 against Bellarmine University. Since then, The Rock has been host to six more collegiate sprint football contests. 

The original QU Stadium was built under the Works Project Administration during the second presidential term of Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1938 for an estimated cost of $116,203. Nearly two city blocks, both the football and baseball sides of the stadium provide for a perfect college athletics atmosphere.

The stadium is surrounded by its original limestone wall built in 1938.
