Mercer Bears
Five Star Stadium at the Moye Complex opened in 2013, marking Mercer's historic return to football after a 72-year hiatus. The $14 million, 10,200-seat facility has averaged over 10,000 fans per game, ranking in the top 25 nationally for FCS attendance. The stadium's dramatic opening game comeback victory set the tone for a successful relaunch of the program.
After dropping football following the 1941 season due to World War II, Mercer waited 72 years before reinstating the program. Five Star Stadium was built specifically for the football program's 2013 return, providing a modern on-campus venue for the Bears.
The east and west stands offer great sightlines. The press tower side provides shade for afternoon games. Student section creates energetic atmosphere on the north end.
Campus lots accessible from Edgewood Avenue and Stadium Drive. Arrive 2-3 hours early for conference games. Tailgating welcome in designated areas.
