Vaught Hemingway Stadium
 Oxford, MS

Built for the Ole Miss Rebels, Vaught Hemingway Stadium is the largest stadium in Mississippi and one of the oldest stadiums in college football. In 1915, students helped in the construction of a new stadium near the campus for the football team. Originally having a capacity of 24,000, the stadium was named for two individuals that were important to the football program at Ole Miss. It was named after Judge William Hemingway, the chairman of the University’s Committee on Athletes and legendary Coach John Vaught.

For nearly 35 years fans, attending games at the stadium saw very few changes. One of the largest pressbox's was constructed before the 1950 season. Like many other teams during the early 1970s, the grass field was removed and replaced with Astroturf. The first major expansions of the stadium occurred during this time. Before the 1971 and 1973 seasons, seating was added at both the east and west sides of the stadium. Seating was added in both endzones prior to the 1980 season, increasing the capacity of Vaught Hemingway Stadium to 41,000. The original press box was removed and a new one was built along with a club level in 1988. Two years later, lights were added to the stadium and seven years later a new video/scoreboard was installed. Before the 1998 season, construction was completed on the upper deck on the east side of the stadium boosting the capacity to 50,000. Prior to the 2002 season, the south endzone was enclosed, giving the stadium its current capacity of 60,850. The most recent change at Vaught Hemingway Stadium occurred before the 2008 season, when a new $6 million, 48 ft. by 84 ft. HD video/scoreboard, was installed replacing the existing Jumbotron. Ole Miss fans still flock to Vaught Hemingway Stadium every fall to watch their team battle out there foes in the SEC.
