Homer Bryce Stadium, American football stadium in Nacogdoches, Texas, US
Homer Bryce Stadium is the home field for Stephen F. Austin State University's Lumberjacks football team, with a Hellas Matrix artificial turf surface installed in 2013 and seating for 14,575 spectators. A Daktronics video board measuring 80 by 36 feet, completed in September 2016, was the largest in the Southland Conference.
The stadium opened in 1973 as Lumberjack Stadium and received its current name in 1986 to honor a university benefactor. Major renovations in the 2010s modernized the facility significantly.
The stadium hosts Stephen F. Austin State University's Lumberjack football and Ladyjack and Lumberjack track and field events. It also stages many premier high school football playoff matchups and track meets, drawing crowds from across East Texas.
The stadium sits on the SFA campus in Nacogdoches, with a walking and running track around the field that was open to the public until renovations closed it in summer 2021. Seating is in the main grandstand, while the surrounding hillsides serve as standing and sitting areas during games. Events run mainly in the college football season and at high school playoff games and track meets.
The stadium uses natural hillsides surrounding the field to create additional viewing areas for thousands of spectators. This geographic feature effectively doubles capacity without needing constructed barriers.
