Scheumann Stadium (officially, the "John B. and June M. Scheumann Stadium"), also known as Ball State Stadium, is a stadium in Muncie, Indiana. It is primarily used for American football, and is the home field of the Ball State University Cardinals. The stadium opened in 1967, holds 23,500 people and is the smallest stadium in the Mid-American Conference..
As of 2006, the stadium was undergoing a $13.6 million renovation. Planned improvements include new lighting for night games, enclosing the north end zone to create a 25,400-seat horseshoe-shaped venue, new concession stands, a facade update using brick, a larger press box and private luxury suites.
