Armstrong Stadium

Armstrong Stadium is a sports facility in Hampton with seating capacity for approximately 17,000 spectators and a modern artificial turf surface. The venue includes press areas on both sides, broadcast facilities for television coverage, and rooms for teams and game operations.

The stadium was built in 1928 by Hampton University students under the architectural direction of William E Lee, an alumnus of the university. This partnership between the institution and student builders shaped the facility's early development.

The stadium serves as a gathering place for Hampton University supporters and draws crowds to football games and track competitions. It functions as a center for university sports traditions and school pride.

The stadium is located on the Hampton University campus and is best visited on event days and major game weekends. Plan extra time to navigate the grounds and locate different entrances and seating sections.

The stadium was largely constructed by students from Hampton University's Building and Construction Program, making it a rare example of hands-on student learning in action. This direct involvement of students in the construction shaped the site's legacy.
