Anthony Field at Wildcat Stadium, Football stadium at Abilene Christian University, Texas.
Anthony Field at Wildcat Stadium is an American football stadium on the campus of Abilene Christian University in Abilene, Texas. It offers seating at field level and in elevated club sections, along with private suites and a large video board at the north end of the field.
The stadium opened in September 2017, replacing the university's earlier football facilities that had served the program for decades. It was designed by HKS Incorporated and marked a turning point for ACU football as the team moved toward competing at a higher level.
The stadium is home to the Abilene Christian University Wildcats football team, and on game days the stands fill with students, families, and longtime supporters of the program. The shared routine of gathering here each season has made the venue a familiar part of university life.
The stadium sits on the ACU campus and can be reached from several entry points around the grounds, making it easy to navigate on arrival. On game days, arriving early is a good idea since parking areas near the venue tend to fill up quickly before popular matches.
The playing surface is named for ACU alumni Mark and April Anthony, whose lead gift funded the stadium; the wider venue is Wildcat Stadium. Ground was broken on February 19, 2016, by ACU, Hoar Construction and HKS Sports & Entertainment Group, and the first home game followed on September 16, 2017, against the Houston Baptist Huskies.
