The Utah State Aggies are the latest team to join
the WAC as a football member. For four decades, the Aggies have
been playing at Romney Stadium. In the mid 1960s the school decided
to construct a new stadium for its football program. On September 14,
1968, the Aggies played their first game at the stadium against New
Mexico State.
The stadium was originally known as
Utah State University Stadium and had
seating in a horseshoe configuration. One year after its opening
Romney Stadium was named after the the all time winningest football
coach at Utah State, E.L. Romney. The stadium originally had a
capacity of 15,000 was expanded to seat 25,000 in 1980. In 1999 new bleachers,
scoreboards, and a sound system was added to the facility. In 2004 the
grass playing field was replaced with an artificial turf similar to
Fieldturf, SprinTurf.
