Information About

Atwood Stadium




Originally Atwood Stadium had a natural grass field, but in 1969 began using artificial turf. Atwood's turf was ruled unsafe, leading to the stadium's closure in 1992 . The stadium reopened in 1995 after $2 million in improvements, including a new artificial turf field. Currently the stadium in undergoing key renovations, but the stadium is still in use for sporting events, mainly football. It is currently home to Flint middle school football as well as Central, Northern, and Southwestern High School football, and Flint Fury semi-pro football.

In 2006, most of Atwood's seating received renovations, with new padded vinyl seats installed.

Atwood is located at 701 W Third Ave., which is part of historic downtown Flint.
