Ross-Ade Stadium (formerly Purdue Stadium) is a stadium in West Lafayette, Indiana. It is the home of the Purdue University Boilermakers football team (1924-present)

The stadium was built to replace Stuart Field, which had been hosting Purdue football since 1892. It is named for David E. Ross and George Ade, the principal benefactors. Ross-Ade Stadium opened on November 22, 1924 with a seating capacity of 13,500 and standing room for an additional 5,000 people. A series of additions and renovations pushed the seating capacity to 70,000. In 2001 Purdue University began a $70 million dollar renovation, which led to a reduced seating capacity of 62,500.
