 Arizona
Stadium
Tucson, AZ
Set in the beautiful Santa
Catalina Mountains, Arizona Stadium has been the home of the Arizona
Wildcats for many years. In the mid 1920’s officials decided the build
a new stadium. Construction on a new stadium for the football team
began in December 1928 and was completed by October 1929. Named
Arizona Stadium, the Wildcats played their first game at the stadium
on October 12, 1929 against California Tech. In the beginning Arizona
Stadium was very small with a seating capacity of only 7,000. Football
under the lights came in 1931 and seven years later the stadium was
expanded by 3,000 seats on the east side.

By 1947, seats were added in
the endzones and three years later the south endzone was enclosed
which gave the stadium a horseshoe look and increased the capacity to
22,671. In 1965, the west side of the stadium was expanded and new
press box was built. By the start of the 1976 season, a two tier
addition on the east side added an additional 17,000 seats to Arizona
Stadium. A new scoreboard was added in 1982 and permanent seats were
installed on the north side of the stadium by 1988. In 1989, a $6.3
million expansion and renovation of the press box was completed adding
23 luxury suites and 319 clubs seats along with a new Presidents Box.
The most recent addition to the stadium came in 1993 when a new
video/scoreboard was added to the facility. Today, Arizona Stadium has
a seating capacity of 56,000.
