Originally known as Biemesderfer Field, this sports stadium has been the home stadium of the Marauders' football team since 1958. It was designed and built for a price of $450,000 and opened in 1970.
Biemesderfer Stadium was named for Daniel Luke Biemesderfer, who was Millersville University's ninth president from 1943 to 1965.
