College Gridirons-War Memorial Stadium-Wyoming Cowboys

War Memorial Stadium
Laramie, WY

Home of the Wyoming Cowboys, War Memorial Stadium is the oldest stadium in the Mountain West Conference. A new stadium for the Cowboys was constructed in 1950 as the football program grew. Named War Memorial Stadium, it opened that fall and had a seating capacity of 33,500.

Very few if any changes have occurred at the stadium since its opening. Its basic shape with a small double decked grandstand on both sides of the gridiron has remained the same. The upper decks were renovated before the 2004. After the 2004 season, the natural grass playing field was removed and replaced with FieldTurf. War Memorial Stadium is the highest Division 1 stadium in college football being 7,220 feet above sea level. The Cowboys have been very successful at the stadium winning 70% of their games there. In the future Wyoming would like to expand the stadium to include a better press box with luxury areas for fans.
