Fouts Field, College stadium in Denton, United States

The Fouts Field stadium at the University of North Texas features a seating capacity of 30,500 and an artificial turf playing surface for year-round activities.

After opening in 1952 as Eagle Stadium, the facility received its current name in 1954 following the death of Theron J. Fouts before the home game against Southern Miss.

The stadium marked a milestone in Texas sports history by recruiting Abner Haynes and Leon King, the first Black athletes to play major college football in the state.

Located at 2300 N I-35E, the stadium provides multiple access points and designated parking areas for attendees during university sporting events and community gatherings.

The facility served as a filming location for the 1991 movie Necessary Roughness, which portrayed a fictional football team wearing the same colors as North Texas.
