📖About Seibert Stadium

Pete Hanna Stadium (formerly Seibert Stadium) has been home to Samford football since 1958, shortly after the university's relocation to Homewood, Alabama. The stadium has undergone continuous upgrades over six decades, including the 1989 Bashinsky Press Tower, the 2009 Cooney Family Field House, and a $65 million renovation currently underway that will transform the north end zone with new connecting walkways.
