Spec Martin Stadium

Spec Martin Stadium is a 6,000 seat football stadium located in DeLand, Florida. Spec Martin Stadium currently hosts Hatters football, DeLand High School Bulldog football and soccer games and, as of 2014, the Central Florida Warriors rugby league team.

The stadium had served as home of the Stetson University Hatters football team before the school discontinued its football program in 1956, and in 2013 it once again featured Hatters football when Stetson started play the Pioneer Football League after a 57-year hiatus.

As part of Stetson's re-entry into college football, Spec Martin Stadium underwent significant renovations, including a new press box, handicapped and premium seating areas, and new locker room facilities.^[1]

Spec Martin Stadium was a filming location for the 1998 film The Waterboy starring Adam Sandler. In the movie, the stadium depicted the home field of the fictional South Central Louisiana State Mud Dogs.

The stadium hosted a qualifying match between Canada and Jamaica for the 2017 Rugby League World Cup on December 8, 2015. The match ended in a 18-18 draw; neither team qualified for the World Cup, as they both lost qualifying matches to the USA.
