H. A. Chapman Stadium, Tulsa

H.A. Chapman Stadium is the football stadium of the University of Tulsa. The Golden Hurricanes have played at this stadium since it was opened in 1930. It was designed by Smith & Senter Architects.

Originally called Skelly Field after William Skelly, founder of Skelly Oil Company, the stadium originally offered 14,500 seats. It was greatly expanded in 1947, and then fully renovated again in 2008 under the design of 360 Architects architectural firm. The stadium now offers seats for 30,000 visitors, which makes it the smallest football stadium in its conference. It also has a new pressbox, club and loge seating and a new scoreboard.

The stadium was renamed after the primary benefactor for the renovation, H.A. Chapman. However, the field itself is still referred to as Skelly Field. It is said that there are no bad seats at H.A. Chapman Stadium and any choice is a good choice when buying tickets. Those visiting the stadium should note that video cameras are not allowed.
