📖About University Stadium

University Stadium opened in 2009 as the first on-campus stadium for West Georgia football. With a capacity of 10,000, the facility was built on 250 acres acquired from the city of Carrollton in 2003. Prior to this stadium, the Wolves played home games at Carrollton High School. The modern facility serves the dual role of hosting athletics and enhancing student life on campus.
