Wisner Stadium

Wisner Stadium

Wisner Stadium is an athletic facility located in Pontiac, Michigan.

Wisner Stadium was built in 1941 and named for Moses Wisner, the 12th Governor of the State of Michigan. Wisner, a resident of Pontiac, was a lawyer who became active in the anti-slavery movement.

The stadium seats 6,600 and has hosted many different events over the years. The football field is home to both public high schools in the city, Pontiac Northern High School and Pontiac Central High School.

During Super Bowl XL week, the Pittsburgh Steelers used the vacant Pontiac Silverdome as a practice facility. FieldTurf was installed specifically for the practices, rather than using the artificial turf that was previously used. Following the game, the new playing surface was donated to Wisner Stadium by FieldTurf.
