Ross-Ade Stadium is a stadium in West Lafayette, Indiana. It is primarily used for American football, and is the home field of the Purdue University Boilermakers. In July of 2006, the university entered into an "agreement in principle" with the All American Football League, allowing Ross-Ade Stadium to serve as the home to one of eight AAFL teams in its inaugural 2007 season.

The stadium is named for David E. Ross and George Ade, the principal benefactors. Ross-Ade Stadium opened on November 22, 1924 with a seating capacity of 13,500 and standing room for an additional 5,000 people. A series of additions and renovations pushed the seating capacity to 70,000. In 2001 Purdue University began a massive $70 million dollar renovation, which led to a reduced seating capacity of 62,500.
