Skelly Field at H. A. Chapman Stadium

Skelly Field at H. A. Chapman Stadium is a college football venue at the University of Tulsa with artificial playing surface, modern video displays, and covered seating areas. The facility accommodates around 30,000 fans and includes club sections designed for different spectator preferences.

The stadium was funded in 1930 by William Skelly, founder of Skelly Oil, and opened with a victory over Arkansas. The venue has been upgraded over the decades and remains central to the university's sports program.

The stadium maintains strong connections with local sports traditions by hosting important matches between Jenks and Union high school football teams.

The stadium is located on the University of Tulsa campus and offers wheelchair accessibility with multiple entry points for easy movement. Arriving early helps visitors find parking and get oriented before crowded game times.

In 2007, the venue was redesigned to reduce capacity from over 40,000 to 30,000 seats while improving comfort with new club areas. This intentional downsizing created a more intimate experience without sacrificing modern facilities.
