| Michie Field stands as the centerpiece of a complete transformation of the entire sports complex at the Army campus. The 40,000 seat stadium is the 16th oldest stadium in the east. Although not much of a powerhouse lately in college football, Michie Field opened in 1924 with patrons witnessing a 40 game unbeaten streak which included 39 straight wins. Michie Stadium was named after Dennis Mahan Michie, who was instrumental in starting the game of football at the U.S. Military Academy. The main expansions occurred at the stadium during the 1960’s when the east stands were constructed and the upper deck on the west side was built before the 1969 season. Astroturf has been the playing surface at the stadium since 1977. Fans continue to show their support of these hard working military athletes. |
