Reno, NV

Located in Reno, Nevada, fans attending games at Mackay Stadium have some of the best views of the gridiron and surrounding areas. In the early to mid 1960�s discussion began on the possibility of a new stadium being built for the Nevada Wolf Pack football team. A new stadium was built and completed by 1965. Named after Clarence Mackay, the stadium originally had a seating capacity of 7,500.

The Wolfpack made their debut at the stadium on October 1, 1966 with a win against UC Santa Barbra. Over the years, the stadium has seen several expansions including the most recent one in the 1990�s. In order to bring the stadium up to Division 1A standards, $6.5 million was spent upgrading it. The stadium�s capacity was increased to just over 31,000, 48 luxury suites were built on the west side, and the upper deck and 12 luxury suites were added on the east side of Mackay Stadium. Fieldturf replaced the Astroturf playing surface before the 2000 season. Other than watching the Wolf Pack football team fans attending games at Mackay Stadium receive excellent views of the surrounding Nevada mountainsides.
