BREC Memorial Stadium is a 21,500-seat American football stadium in Baton Rouge, Louisiana that opened in 1952. Besides high school football, it is also used for concerts and other outdoor events, including monster truck rallies, and used for water skiing events (during 1960's-1970's). It features a modern press box, concession stands and restrooms. The Grantland Rice Bowl was played at the stadium from 1969-1975.
The stadium was dedicated by BREC, Baton Rouge's parks and recreation commission, in memory of the men and women who fought and served Baton Rouge during the two World Wars and the Korean War.
