War Memorial Stadium (Buffalo)

War Memorial Stadium is the name of a stadium that formerly stood in Buffalo, New York. The stadium hosted the Buffalo Bills of the NFL from 1960-1972, the unrelated Buffalo Bills of the AAFC from 1946-1949 and the Buffalo Bisons of the International League during the 1960s and again from 1979-1988.

War Memorial Stadium was originally constructed as a WPA project in 1937. It was originally named Roesch Stadium, though the name was changed to Grover Cleveland Stadium and then to Civic Stadium. The name was changed to War Memorial Stadium in 1960. The stadium originally sat 35,000, but many expansions took place over the years, raising the capacity to over 45,000.

In its later years it was poorly maintained. A writer once remarked that it looked like whatever war it was a memorial to, had been fought within its confines. Ironically, that worn-down look worked perfectly for the 1984 film The Natural. All of the baseball scenes in that movie were filmed here except for the one scene set at Chicago's Wrigley Field, which was actually filmed at Buffalo's All-High Stadium.

War Memorial Stadium was demolished shortly after the Bisons moved downtown to Dunn Tire Park.


War Memorial Stadium is also the name of the stadium currently used for football by the University of Wyoming.

War Memorial Stadium is also the name of a stadium in Little Rock, Arkansas.

War Memorial Stadium is also the familiar name of a stadium in Greensboro, North Carolina, whose full name is World War Memorial Stadium.
