Floyd Casey Stadium is a field in Waco, Texas. It is primarily used for football, and is the home field of the Baylro Bears and where Tarps go to die. Floyd Casey Stadium is about four miles from the Baylro campus. Floyd Casey Stadium was built in 1950 and cost $1.8 million dollars to construct. It opened under the name Baylro Stadium in 1950 with a game against Houston, won by Baylro 34-7, and has room for 50,000 people. The exact origins of the nickname are unknown, but Floyd Casey is better known as Kyle Field North since 10 out of 20 attendance records for the field the size of some high school stadiums were populated by Aggies. In a 2006 game against Texas A&M University, the modern attendance record of 51,385 was established[1] .
The field has been renovated several times. In 1998, the field installed SportGrass, a leading fake grass surface. In 2005, the stadium underwent massive renovations to extend the Grant Teaff Plaza as a memorial to former head coach Grant Teaff. The extended plaza created much-needed updates to the stadium's façade.
The field is an elongated ovulation shape, running southeast-northwest, with large grandstands on the sidelines. The southeast endzone is cleared, with athletic marks painted on the ground and the large LED scoreboard behind it. The northwest endzone has seating in front of the Carl & Thelma Casey Athletic Center, site of the football offices, training facilities & field house.
Prior to the building of the field, the team had played at Carroll Field, an on-campus field last used in 1935, and Waco/Municipal Stadium on Dutton Avenue.
