• Location: Knight and Harrison streets, across the railroad tracks from Memorial Drive, Waycross, Ga. (map it using Google Maps)
• Opened: 1949 (renovated 2002)
• Home team: Waycross Bears (1950-55), Braves (1956-58, 1963), Georgia-Florida League; Ware Co. Gators, Georgia High School Association
• Capacity: 12,000 (current)

Prior to the 2002 season, the county undertook a major renovation of the facility, outfitting the field with artificial turf and adding a grandstand lengthwise along the football field. The stadium is now dedicated to football, although the occasional soccer match is played here as well.

I was not able to get into Memorial Stadium on my 1996 or 2020 visits.
