Hewitt-Trussville Stadium

Hewitt-Trussville Stadium is an athletics stadium under construction adjacent to Hewitt-Trussville High School near the Cahaba River in Trussville. Husky Field will be used for football, while it and the surrounding running track will serve the school's track and field teams.

The 24-acre stadium site had previously been considered for the route of the proposed Northern Beltline in the 1990s. During that time a prehistoric archaeological site was discovered. A study of the site was performed by the University of Alabama Office of Archaeological Research at city expense in 2012 before construction proceeded on the stadium.

Ground was broken for the stadium in September 2013. Trussville's Blalock Building submitted the lowest bid and was awarded the contract for $14.6 million. An additional $3.3 million was approved for construction of a bridge for Husky Parkway to better access the stadium.
