History

The stadium was built in 1970.[2] The stadium has a capacity of 9,800 people. It was renovated in 2004 for nearly $10 Million to update the facility, include the capability to play soccer, as well as a turf field.[3]

The stadium has one large grandstand on the West side of the field. There is a running track around the stadium. The football playing field is not centered, rather it is closer to the grandstand, improving visibility from there.

There is, in addition, a smaller running track/soccer field located next to Titan Stadium.

In 2007 and 2008, the DIII National Track and Field Championships were hosted at Titan Stadium.

The stadium is also used for home games/meets for the Oshkosh high schools; Oshkosh West Wildcats, Oshkosh North Spartans, and Oshkosh Lourdes Knights.
