Greenway Avenue Stadium, located in Cumberland, Maryland serves as the primary athletics stadium for Allegany County, Maryland, United States. Greenway Avenue Stadium was constructed in the 1930s by the Public Works Administration as part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal.

In 1998, the stadium was upgraded to an all weather playing surface in anticipation of hosting scrimmages by the Washington Redskins who held summer training camp at Frostburg State University.

The stadium seats 6,054 with a total capacity of approximately 15,000.

Each year thousands of spectators attend the student athletic events held in the stadium. The facility is shared by Allegany High School and Fort Hill High School, and is the location of some of the state's finest music and sporting events.
