Jonah Field at War Memorial Stadium

Jonah Field at War Memorial Stadium, capacity 30,514 was built in 1950 and remains one of the most picturesque football facilities in America. A state-of-the-art $1 million artificial turf surface was installed in the summer of 2005 enhancing this breathtaking stadium, which sits between the Snowy Range of the Rocky Mountains to the West and the Laramie Range to the East. At an elevation of 7,220 feet War Memorial is the highest Division I football stadium in America.

Coming in the Fall of 2010 will be the addition of luxury suites and club seating in War Memorial Stadium. Construction will begin following completion of the 2008 season. That project will be completed prior to the start of the 2010 season.

With the crowd noise, elevation and outstanding Cowboy teams, Wyoming's home field has long been one of the most feared places to play in college football. The Cowboys have won over 68 percent of their games at War Memorial Stadium. The stadium is no stranger on the national scene, as it has hosted the likes of Kansas, Ole Miss, Texas A&M and Virginia since 2000. In 2009, the Cowboys will host the Texas Longhorns in War Memorial. "The War" opened on Sept. 16, 1950, with a 61-13 win over Montana State, followed by an official dedication the following week on Sept. 23 versus nationally-ranked Baylor. The Cowboys won that game 7-0.

Some of the great Wyoming coaches to walk the sidelines in War Memorial Stadium, include Bowden Wyatt, Phil Dickens, Bob Devaney, Lloyd Eaton, Fritz Shurmur, Fred Akers, Pat Dye, Paul Roach, Joe Tiller and Joe Glenn. Former Cowboy head coaches Wyatt, Devaney and Dye have all since been inducted into the National Football Foundation College Hall of Fame.
