John F. Kennedy Stadium (Bridgeport)

John F. Kennedy Stadium is a 12,000-seat lighted stadium located at Central High School in Bridgeport, Connecticut. The stadium is designed for use for football, soccer, lacrosse games and track and field meets.

The stadium was built along with the current high school, which was completed in 1964, and named for the recently assassinated President John F. Kennedy. In addition to being home to the CHS Hilltoppers, it was home to the University of Bridgeport's football program until it was disbanded in 1975. In recent years, the stadium served as the site of the EMBA marching band field show finals in early November, having moved there in 2000 after several years at West Haven (CT) High School's stadium. In 2001, the stadium was the host to the first Steinfeld Cup
