DiSanto Field, on the campus of Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, is a 2,400-seat multi-purpose football stadium home to the Case Western Reserve Spartans football, men's and women's soccer, men's and women's lacrosse, and men's and women's track and field teams.

The press box includes the Coach Bill Edwards president's suite, named after the College Football Hall of Fame inductee coach.[1] In 2008, the eight-lane track surrounding the field was named Coach Bill Sudeck Track.

The Case Western Reserve Spartans football team played its first home game in the new stadium on September 30, 2005, defeating the Oberlin Yeomen 30-27.[2]
