Griggs Field

Northern Minnesota's premier outdoor athletic venue, Griggs Field at James S. Malosky Stadium has been the home of Bulldog football for the past 40 seasons and to UMD women's soccer since 1994.

And, talk about a home field advantage. In 188 lifetime appearances at Griggs Field heading into the 2006 season, the Bulldogs have posted a 140-44-4 overall football record for an impressive .755 winning percentage. Only four times has UMD failed to produce a .500 or above record at the on-campus facility, which named after Richard L. Griggs and legendary Bulldog football coach Jim Malosky. Women's soccer has likewise found plenty of success at Malosky Stadium, going 64-18-5 at the on-campus facilty while turning in a pair of perfect home records (10-0 in 1995 and 7-0 in 1998).

A new synthetic grass (A-Turf) football playing surface was installed at Malosky Stadium in the summer of 2004, just five years after it underwent a $1.6 million facelift. That renovation included the installation an eight-lane all weather track. In addition to housing the football, women's soccer and track Bulldogs, the 4,000-seat Griggs Field also hosts a number of high school football and track and field events throughout the year as well as University intramural activities.
