Capacity: 21,195
Built: 1969 
The site of the most dramatic facility renovation in the history of Hornet athletics, the stadium recently underwent a $1 million improvement in preparation for the U.S. Track and Field Olympic Trials in July, 2000. Hornet Stadium currently seats just over 21,195, down from its original 26,000 capacity following the 1992 renovation. The stadium remains the University’s most impressive athletic facility and one of the largest in the Big Sky Conference. Until 1995, it was also one of a small handful of stadiums in the country shared by collegiate programs and professional football organizations. The Sacramento Surge of the World League played there in 1992, and the Sacramento Gold Miners of the Canadian Football League played the 1993 and 1994 seasons in Hornet Stadium before moving to San Antonio in 1995.
