M. M. Roberts Stadium

M. M. Roberts Stadium is a football venue in Hattiesburg with seating for about 36,000 people, featuring two-tier grandstands on multiple sides. The facility includes premium suites and modern training areas for the athletic programs.

The stadium was originally built in 1932 during the Great Depression with support from a local businessman and unemployed workers from the area. It has since been expanded and upgraded to meet the evolving needs of the athletic programs.

The place holds special meaning for the local community as a gathering space where families and friends come together during game days.

Arriving early helps you find good seating and avoid long lines at the entrances on game days. The layout is straightforward, with clear signage and pathways directing you to different seating sections.

Student athletes participated in building the concrete stands in the late 1930s, earning this venue its 'The Rock' nickname. This hands-on involvement created a deep connection between players and their home field.
