Description
The stadium was officially opened on Sept. 15, 1973, as the Wildcats moved into their new home after spending 48 years at Stoll Field/McLean Stadium across from Memorial Coliseum.
Additional features of the stadium expansion included two Mitsubishi Diamond Vision video boards, a new sound system, new scoreboards, additional restrooms and concession stands, and new concourse televisions.
There was one change for 2005 as a new Bermuda grass playing surface was installed. The playing area is titled C. M. Newton Field, named after the former UK director of athletics in 2001.
