Falcon Stadium, home to some of the
finest individuals in this country, with their dedication to the Air
Force, has been the location of Falcon football for almost five
decades. In the early 1960s, discussion began on the possibility of
building a stadium for the football program as all their games were
played at other colleges. That discussion became a
reality when funds from Air Force personnel and fans was raised and
the stadium was built.

Springs in the inaugural first game at the stadium. The lower grandstand encloses the playing field
while the second and third decks are located on one side of the
stadium. The main scoreboard sits above the stands in the endzone.

many memorable football games. Lighting was added in 2002 and a new videoboard in 2004.
