Starksville, MS

Scott Field, the second oldest college football stadium in Division 1-A football has been the home of the Mississippi State Bulldogs for more than nine decades. In 1914, a new stadium for the football program was constructed to replace Hardy Field. Originally Scott Stadium was a relatively small stadium with a seating capacity less than 20,000. It was named after Don M. Scott who was an Olympic sprinter and one of the first football stars for the Bulldogs. Two expansions occurred at the stadium during the first half of the 20th century. Additions came in 1936 and 1945 when the seating capacity was increased to 35,000. For the next three decades very little changed at Scott Field. Before the 1983 season the seating in the endzone was removed decreasing the capacity to 32,000.

 

The first addition in more than four decades was completed prior to the 1986 season. A $7.2 million expansion project including increasing the stadium by nearly 9,000 seats was completed. This included the upper deck and sections of seating on both sides of the east side. A new video/scoreboard was added to the stadium prior to the 1997 season on the north side. The latest expansion project to Scott Stadium occurred in 2002. This $30 million project included the addition of 7,000 seats in the upper deck, 50 luxury suites, and 1,700 club seats. Today Scott Field has a seating capacity of just over 55,000 consisting of double decked grandstands on both sides of the gridiron. Additional seating is located in the endzone. Fans attending games at Scott Field between 1998 and 2000 saw the BullDogs go undefeated as they won 16 consecutive games.
