Scott Stadium during the summer Scott Stadium is a stadium located in Charlottesville, Virginia.
It is the home of the Virginia Cavaliers football team.
It sits on the University of Virginia's Grounds, east of Hereford College and first-year dorms on Alderman Road but west of Brown College and the Lawn.
Constructed in 1931, it is the oldest active FBS football stadium in Virginia.
It also hosts other events, such as concerts for bands that can fill an entire stadium, such as the Dave Matthews Band in 2001, the Rolling Stones in 2005, and U2 in 2009.
The Virginia High School League held its Group AAA Division 5 and 6 football state championship games at the stadium until 2015.
The facility has also hosted the Division I NCAA Men's Lacrosse Championship in 1977 and 1982 and the ACC Women's Lacrosse Tournament in 2008.
Built as a replacement for the old Lambeth Field or "Colonnades," Scott Stadium bears the name of donor and University Rector Frederic Scott, and held 25,000 spectators at opening.
The stadium had a view of the Blue Ridge Mountains and specifically Monticello Mountain out the south end of the stadium.
An artificial turf system was installed in 1974, making the long tradition of a mounted Cavalier riding into the stadium with the football team impossible.
David A. Harrison III provided a gift allowing natural grass to be reinstalled in the stadium, and the Cavalier has ridden into Scott Stadium every game since 1995 accompanied by orange and blue fireworks.
