Scott Stadium
Scott Stadium, in full The Carl Smith Center, home of David A. Harrison III Field at 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 like 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 at the then-cost of US$300,000 as a replacement for the old Lambeth Field or "Colonnades," Scott Stadium bears the name of donor and University rector Frederic William Scott (1862–1939), 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.
Since 1972, Scott has hosted 24 Virginia High School League football championship games, including the 5A and 6A finals every year from 2009–15.
The first expansion to the stadium's capacity came in 1981, when upper decks and grass hill seating allowed 40,000 fans.
Carl Smith's donations helped make the most recent contributions to Scott Stadium in 2000, filling in the upper deck and south end to allow 20,000 additional fans, and installing the pergola, state-of-the-art lighting and large audio/visual tower known as "Hoo-Vision," as well as a new lighting system placed on towers with "V's" built in. The facility's official name is a result of this string of donations.
Scott Stadium received a new scoreboard and a larger video screen, Hoo Vision.
The Ramon W. Breeden Jr. Videoboard was installed at Scott Stadium during the summer of 2024 and debuted during that football season. The 6,700-square-foot display is more than double the size of the previous 2009-era board and features a custom audio system and enhanced Hoo Vision to improve the game-day experience for fans.
