Vaught–Hemingway Stadium

Vaught–Hemingway Stadium is a football stadium in Oxford with a rounded bowl shape that holds about 64,000 spectators. The playing field and multiple tiers of seating make it a large venue for college football.

The stadium began as a federal project in 1915 and received its current name in 1982 to honor coach Johnny Vaught and professor William Hemingway. This renaming recognized two important figures who shaped the university's football history.

The stadium is where University of Mississippi Rebels supporters gather to cheer on their teams together. Games shape life in Oxford, bringing the community together especially on fall weekends.

The stadium is located in Oxford and is easily accessible by several routes. Visitors should arrive early to find good parking, especially on game days when thousands of fans are present.

The playing surface was converted back to natural grass in 2016 after switching multiple times between artificial and natural turf. This return to a natural surface was a significant step for the stadium's field.
