Dwight T. Reed Stadium saw its first game take place on September 25, 1971, as the Blue Tigers went 5-5 overall that season. It has served as the home of Lincoln's football and track & field programs for over 50 years, and LU celebrated the milestone on Sept. 25, 2021 during its home game against Northeastern State.
The 5,500 capacity stadium has hosted multiple Missouri State Track & Field Championship meets as well as the 2013 and 2023 MIAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships. In 2017, the grass field was replaced with artificial turf and the track surrounding the football field was completely revamped. A state-of-the-art video board was also installed. The first game on the new turf was a Battle of the Lincolns, as Lincoln (MO) beat Lincoln (PA), 49-19, on Sept. 9, 2017.
Locker rooms for the LU football team and Lincoln 14-time NCAA Division II champion men's and women's track & field teams are located next to the stadium in the Dr. James Frank Center on the first floor of The LINC.
