HiWorld Stadium, formerly known as Venceslo Field, Icicle Holdings Stadium, and SkyNation Arena, is a MAFL-tier football stadium in the city of Venceslo, just west of Venceslo Village, built by time2makemymove. It is the home stadium of the Venceslo Quicksand.

History

First completed in September 2017, in November 2018 the stadium was nearly completely redeveloped, including moving the field down 6 blocks, removing the roof and the exterior walls, and moving the parking underground, in the city of Venceslo's Stadium-North Venceslo Redevelopment Project. In this construction project, a new area on the north side of the stadium was created, called the SkyNation Arena Marketplace, a farmer's market and small shopping area to complement the stadium.

On January 2, 2022, the stadium was renamed to HiWorld Stadium, and the Marketplace was renamed to simply Stadium Marketplace.

On December 23, 2023, the South and East grandstands were demolished for reconstruction. On December 30, 2023, the new South grandstand opened. On January 31, 2024, the new East Grandstand opened, with an IntraBahn station built in.
