- Ralph E. Davis Pioneer Stadium
Ralph E. Davis Pioneer Stadium is a stadium in Platteville, Wisconsin. It is used for collegiate and high school American football and collegiate soccer, and is the home field of the University of Wisconsin-Platteville "Pioneers".
Pioneer Stadium opened in 1972 and holds 10,000 people. It is the second largest stadium in Division III collegiate football and the largest soccer stadium. From 1984-2002, the stadium and other university facilities were also used as the Chicago Bears' training camp home.
In 2005, stadium renovations included replacing the grass surface with a Pro-Grass in-fill surface.
The stadium is named for Ralph Emerson Davis, a geologist and "godfather of the natural gas industry," who served as the Director of the Wisconsin Mining School, which would eventually merge to for the University of Wisconsin-Platteville. Davis's generous donation helped complete the $1.25 million facility.
