Summary[edit]

Description

Mackay Stadium is an outdoor athletic stadium in Reno, Nevada, on the campus of the University of Nevada. It is the university's venue for football and women's soccer for the Nevada Wolf Pack of the Mountain West Conference.

It is located on the northern portion of campus, at 17th Street & East Stadium Way, and is named for Clarence Mackay, a university benefactor in the early years of the school. After several expansions, Mackay Stadium currently seats 30,000; however, the stadium may decrease slightly the seating capacity as the university plans for upgraded seating options prior to the 2014 football season.

In 2013, the playing surface at Mackay Stadium was named Chris Ault Field in honor of the former Wolf Pack head coach, College Football Hall of Famer, creator of the Pistol offense in 2005, and for his contributions to Wolf Pack football. The field sits at an elevation of 4,610 feet (1,410 m) above sea level and runs in a NW to SE configuration, with the press box on the southwest sideline. Permanent lighting was installed in 2003 to allow the option of night games. Originally natural grass, synthetic infill FieldTurf was installed in 2000 and replaced in 2010.

The Wolf Pack football single-season attendance record was set in 1991 with a total of 180,457 fans over nine home games, including playoffs; and the regular-season attendance record was set at 151,081 fans in 1993. The 1993 and 2013 seasons are the only football seasons to have at least 20,000 fans in attendance at every home game, although multiple seasons are close. In addition, 2013 holds the single-season attendance record for a Wolf Pack team with a losing record (at 149,635 fans).
