Kroger Field

Kroger Field is a football stadium at the University of Kentucky with seating for approximately 61,000 spectators and modern video displays at both ends of the playing field. The facility offers loge seating, suites, and expanded concourse areas for visitor comfort.

The stadium was built in 1973 on a portion of the University's Experimental Station Farm and became the home of the Wildcats football team. Over the following decades, it underwent several modernizations to keep pace with the demands of contemporary sports.

Home games for the Kentucky Wildcats shape student life and create an energetic feeling on campus during match days. The fans fill the stands and make the place a gathering point for the university and the city.

The stadium offers ample parking on campus and accessible areas for visitors with mobility challenges. Arriving early on game day helps ensure a good viewing spot and allows time to explore the facilities.

The playing surface is maintained with special care and techniques to ensure top-quality conditions for games and training. This investment in the field demonstrates how much attention goes into the details of modern sports operations.
