📖About Fortera Stadium

Fortera Stadium, originally Clarksville Municipal Stadium, opened in 1946 and has been the home of Austin Peay football for over 75 years. The stadium underwent a transformative $16.9 million renovation in 2014, replacing the west side grandstands with a modern facility featuring skyboxes, club seating, and state-of-the-art amenities. The partnership with Fortera Credit Union in 2016 brought the current naming rights.
