6,035 Feet Above Sea Level, Miles Beyond the Ordinary.
Weidner Field was built to be more than just a stadium—it was designed to bring our sprawling community together. From the first whistle on the pitch to the last note of a summer concert, we’re here to foster the connections that make our city feel like home.
The stadium was part of a collection of projects led by the City of Colorado Springs known as City for Champions including the US Olympic and Paralympic Museum, Ed Robson Arena, William J Hybl Sports Medicine and Performance Center, and Air Force Academy Visitor Center. Weidner Field was designed to energize the downtown area, spur adjacent real estate investment, increase tourism, and bring a sprawling community together. Plans for the new stadium were officially unveiled in July 2018. Design details were revealed in July 2019, and the ceremonial groundbreaking took place that December.
Naming rights are held by Weidner Apartment Homes, an owner in the Club and sponsored the naming rights for the former stadium. The “Weidner Field” name was officially transferred from the old stadium to the new venue on October 15, 2020.
