Bethlehem Area School District Stadium

Bethlehem Area School District Stadium or BASD Stadium for short, is a multi-purpose stadium for both Liberty High School.^[1] and Freedom High School. The stadium seats up to 14,000 and can occupy up to 16,000 in the standing section. It is one of the premiere multi-purpose stadiums in Pennsylvania. Liberty and Freedom High Schools play their home football, soccer, lacrosse, and field hockey games here. The stadium was renovated in 2005 when a new light system was installed and Field Turf was added thanks in part to the generosity of Frank Banko. The field was renamed after 2005 to Frank Banko Field at BASD Stadium.

History

The BASD Stadium was constructed in 1941 by the Works Progress Administration as part of a New Deal program. The steel for the stadium bleachers was donated by Bethlehem Steel.
