Goerke Field is a stadium in Stevens Point, Wisconsin. It is primarily used for American football and is the home to the University of Wisconsin–Stevens Point Pointers, the Stevens Point Area Senior High School Panthers, and the Pacelli High School Cardinals.
Until the 1980's, Goerke Field's stands consisted of a concrete grandstand on only the north side, for all fans, with press and coach boxes. By the 1980's, aluminum bleachers were installed on the south side, to accommodate visiting teams' fans, as well as adhere to WIAC standards.
The stadium was outfitted with artificial turf in 2008 due to the poor condition of the grass field it replaced, as it's the home playing field for three different teams, leading to the field becoming badly worn down by the end of the football seasons.[1]
