Alonzo Herndon Stadium, named for Alonzo Herndon, is a 15,011-seat stadium on the campus of Morris Brown College in Atlanta, Georgia. It is the only two-sided stadium in the Atlanta University Center. It is one block over from the locally known Herndon Home.
During the 1996 Summer Olympics, Herndon Stadium hosted field hockey. It was also used as the stand-in for the demolished Fairfield Stadium in Huntington, West Virginia during filming of the 2006 movie We Are Marshall.
The stadium was the home to the former Atlanta Beat women's soccer club of the defunct WUSA league. It is rumored that the relaunched WUSA's Atlanta club will play there once again as the size and atmosphere was splendid for women's soccer.
