Rip Hewes Stadium

Rip Hewes Stadium is a 10,000-seat stadium located in Dothan, Alabama. It is primarily used for high school football, as well as other sporting and community events. It shares home field with Dothan High School and Northview High School. Evangelist Billy Graham once held an evangelistic campaign event here during his second trip through Dothan. His previous event was held at the First Baptist Church, Dothan. Due to the overwhelming crowds at the First Baptist Church, his evangelistic campaign was held at Rip Hewes Stadium on his second trip to the area. Although it was pouring rain, crowds poured into the stadium to hear the gospel message.
