Description:
Montana State University boasts among the finest athletic facilities in the Northwest, and the crown jewel of the program's physical plant is Bobcat Stadium. Bobcat Stadium, formerly Reno H. Sales Stadium, was built in 1973 at the cost of around a half-million dollars and the Stadium was renovated prior to the 1998 season for about $12 million. The renovation project included new concession stands and restrooms in the Stadium's west stands; a new north end zone complex, featuring dressing facilities for teams and officials; and a new grandstand which boasts 38 sky suites, an indoor stadium club, a corporate entertaining area, and press facilities. Bobcat Stadium can hold over 15,000 fans, which includes bleachers beyond the south end zone. The facility was designed to accommodate further expansion in the south end zone, as well. The Stadium's Martel Field is named after Bill Martel, the Bozeman contractor who was instrumental in the project's completion.
