Prior to 1936, the Lincoln football team played their home games on a gridiron where Jason Gym is now located. In 1915 this field was known as West Athletic Field.[4] The team played on Lincoln Field from 1936 to 1970. This field was home to four conference championship teams between 1952 and 1962. Lincoln Field is now called the practice field.

The Blue Tigers have played their home games at Dwight T. Reed Stadium since 1971. Reed Stadium was named for Dwight T. Reed, who coached the team from 1949 to 1972. The current capacity of the stadium is at 3,000 but the university lists it at 5,500.[5][6] Reed stadium underwent renovations from March to September 2017 after the university's Board of Curators approved the $1.8 million project.[7] The renovations included new stadium lights, an artificial turf playing surface, and a new digital scoreboard that included a video board.[8] In addition to American football, Reed Stadium can also host soccer games.[9] Reed Stadium also hosted Commencement before it was moved to the Linc Recreation Center in May 2017. Commencement was moved back to Reed Stadium two years later in May 2019.[10]
