O'Shaughnessy Stadium

O'Shaughnessy Stadium is a multi-purpose athletic facility at the University of St. Thomas in Saint Paul, featuring a synthetic turf surface and an eight-lane all-weather track for competitions. The venue holds around 5,000 spectators and underwent significant upgrades in 2017 with new playing surfaces.

Construction of the stadium began in 1940 with the south wall, but was delayed until 1948 due to World War II interruptions. The project resumed after the war and was eventually completed.

The stadium serves as the primary gathering place for University of St. Thomas football and track competitions, drawing students and local sports enthusiasts throughout the academic year. Events here shape campus life and create moments of shared community identity.

The facility is located on the University of St. Thomas campus in Saint Paul and is relatively easy to access during game days. Expect crowds during football season and track competitions, especially for major matchups.

The stadium recorded its highest attendance of over 12,000 spectators during a football game against Saint John's University in 2014. This matchup remains one of the most attended events in the facility's history.
