Washington-Grizzly Stadium

The University of Montana Grizzlies have been playing in Washington Grizzly Stadium/John Hoyt Field since the midway point of the 1986 season, and since that time the Griz have racked up an impressive 133-19 (.875) record.

The stadium was first expanded in the spring of 1995 with end zone seating on both the north and south sides, and a few more addtional seats were added in 2002, bringing the capacity to 19,005. Prior to the 1995 expansion there were 12,500 permanent seats. (When the grass end zones were available, the capacity was approximately 15,000).

The facility underwent its second expansion in the spring and summer of 2003, as approximately 4,000 seats were added on to the north end zone section of Washington Grizzly Stadium, which increased the capacity to 23,117.

Stadium expansion will once again occur following the 2007 season. The east side of Washington-Grizzly Stadium will undergo renovations which will add around 2,000 seats made up of box seating and additional suites.
