McCully Stadium is the longtime home of Wheaton football and track and field. Previously known as New Lawson Field, the field was renamed McCully Field in 1956, when a concrete grandstand with a seating capacity of 4,100 was added. The facility became known as McCully Stadium in 2006 to reflect the addition of lights, a new playing surface for football and a newly re-surfaced synthetic track around the playing field.

The stadium was named in honor of former Wheaton gridder Ed McCully as a tribute to his extraordinary bravery in sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ. McCully was a former Wheaton football player and 1949 graduate of Wheaton College. Ed McCully and Jim Elliot served as missionaries to the fierce Auca Indians in the jungles of Ecuador. On January 3, 1956, these men landed their plane on a narrow strip of beach near the Auca territory. After building a tree house and establishing two-way radio contact with their wives, they had a brief encounter with the Auca Indian tribe. Two days later the team was found speared to death by this tribe on the beach not far from where they had landed.  By the grace of God the story did not end there. Their wives continued the work their husbands had started and eventually led this same South American tribe to Christ.

In 2004 McCully Stadium received a new playing surface, as state-of-the-art artificial grass from FieldTurf was installed. In the fall of 2005 lights were added to further improve the facility for games and practices and the track around the playing field was also resurfaced at that time. The stadium provides seating for approximately 4,000 fans. A concession area, restrooms and team meeting rooms are located under the grandstand.

Crowning the home grandstand is a pressbox facility. The facility includes two radio booths and seating for media, statisticians and other support staff

Coaches and video personnel from each team can witness the game from the privacy of enclosed booths, located on each side of the pressbox.
