War Memorial Stadium

War Memorial Stadium sits on the University of Wyoming campus and holds about 29,000 spectators with large video displays at both ends of the field. The facility includes comfortable club areas with private suites and covered seating for visitors seeking shelter from weather.

The facility replaced the older Corbett Field in 1950, marking a turning point for University of Wyoming football with much greater seating and improved conditions. This shift allowed the program to grow and accommodate larger crowds for home games.

The stadium features artworks like the Cowboy Tough statue that reflect the deep roots of Wyoming's sports tradition and rodeo heritage. These pieces remind visitors of the pride the community takes in its cowboy identity and connection to the land.

The stadium sits at an elevation of about 7,220 feet, which visitors from lower altitudes may feel on arrival. It helps to move at a slower pace and drink plenty of water to adjust to the high elevation.

The sideline displays the exact elevation of about 7,220 feet, an unusual detail that few stadiums around the world feature. The end zones feature images of the nearby Teton Mountains, reflecting the natural landscape that surrounds the region.
