Brookland Stadium

About

Brookland Stadium, or Killion Field, was a stadium in Brookland, Washington, D.C., serving as the athletic field for the Catholic University Cardinals from 1924 to 1985. It was named after alumni Captain Edward Lucien Killion, who died in France during World War I.

The stadium was located on the main campus of The Catholic University of America, next to Brookland Gymnasium (today's Edward M. Crough Center for Architectural Studies), in the area now occupied by the Columbus School of Law and the Law School Lawn.

Primarily used for college football, it was also a baseball and soccer stadium. It hosted the second leg of the 1970 NASL Final between the Rochester Lancers and the Washington Darts.
