Sea Foam Stadium is the football field on the campus of Concordia University, Saint Paul in Saint Paul, Minnesota.[6] It opened in 2009, and seats about 3,500 spectators. The Stadium includes a football/soccer field with artificial turf, running track, scoreboard, lights, bleachers, parking, concession facilities, locker rooms, weight room, press box, outdoor plaza, and inflatable dome, somewhat resembling a marshmallow, during the winter months. As of August 2023, the stadium has a Daktronics videoboard and speaker on the north end-zone.

The stadium cost a total of $14.5 million to construct[3] and is named so because of a $5 million donation by Sea Foam Sales Company.[7]

The stadium also hosts the Ultimate Frisbee Association's (UFA) Minnesota Wind Chill, who have been playing their home games at Sea Foam since 2019.[8] Most noticeably, it was the location of the Central Division Championship game of the 2024 (UFA) season, where the Wind Chill defeated the Madison Radicals 23-14,[9] eventually leading that season to win the UFA Championship.
