College Gridirons-Memorial Stadium-Navy Midshipmen

Memorial Stadium
Annapolis, MD

Perhaps known for their annual Army, Navy game, Memorial Stadium has been the home of the Navy Midshipmen for over four decades. Towards the mid 1950�s a new stadium for Navy was needed. Navy was able to raise enough money through private contributions to have a new stadium built. Construction on the $3 million facility began in early 1959.

Memorial Stadium was completed in time for Navy�s game against William and Mary on September 26, 1959. The stadium had a seating of 35,000. Throughout the past four decades, Memorial Stadium has changed very little. In 1992 the Admiral Thomas J. Hamilton Locker Room was completed providing new locker rooms for both Navy and its visitors. Although it has went through some modern upgrades, Memorial Stadium still has a seating capacity of 35,000. The lower grandstand forms a horseshoe around the playing field, while upper decks are located on both sides of the gridiron.
