Festival Foods Field at Aldo Santaga Stadium is a soccer-specific stadium in Green Bay, Wisconsin, on the campus of the University of Wisconsin–Green Bay.[2] It is part of the new Kress Family Outdoor Recreation Complex. Completed in 2018, the turf field is home to the UW–Green Bay men's and women's soccer teams.

The previous soccer complex, the original Aldo Santaga Stadium,[3] was located on the UWGB campus's East Circle Drive. The old stadium sits on land once occupied by the number one fairway at Shorewood Country Club. The flood lights were once set up at Lambeau Field.
