context_page_description: Breese Stevens Municipal Athletic Field is a multi-purpose stadium in Madison, Wisconsin. Located eight blocks northeast of the Wisconsin State Capitol on the Madison Isthmus, it is the oldest extant masonry grandstand in Wisconsin.
  The field is named in honor of Breese J. Stevens, a mayor of Madison and a University of Wisconsin–Madison regent, on the wishes of his widow, who sold the land to the city. The complex was designated as a Madison Landmark in 1995 and was accepted for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places and the Wisconsin State Register of Historic Places in 2014.
  The venue currently seats nearly 5,000, which can be expanded to 9,333 for concerts.
  It is home to Edgewood College teams; Madison East High School teams, the Madison 56ers amateur soccer team; the professional Ultimate frisbee team, the Madison Radicals, and the USL League One soccer team Forward Madison FC. It has hosted Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association's girls' soccer tournaments and an exhibition match of Australian football.
context_section_description: Jesse Owens, gold medalist sprinter of the 1936 Berlin Olympics, ran in three exhibition races at the field in 1938 following a Madison Blues baseball game.
  The Madison Stampede rodeo event was held over six days in 1931.
  In 1938 midget auto races were held before being banned the next year over concerns of noise and damage to the field's track.
  The stadium hosted WIAA soccer tournaments from 1989 to 2002 and was also the home field for the Madison East and Madison La Follette high school teams.
  Since 2013, the Madison Radicals of the American Ultimate Disc League (AUDL) have played their home games at the field.  The AUDL championship weekend was held at Breese Stevens Field for the second time, on August 11-12, 2018, and concluded with the Radicals earning their first league title. Breese Stevens will host the AUDL championship for the third time in 2020.
  Breese Stevens Field is also home to a few soccer teams. Since 2005, the Madison 56ers of the UPSL have played at the stadium. Forward Madison FC of USL1 began to play at the field in 2019.
