War Memorial Stadium — Attraction in Laramie

Sorry, but neither of those dates for construction are true. War Memorial Stadium was built by UW in 1950, and named in honor of US veterans. "The War", as it has come to be known, has been home to the Wyoming Cowboys football team ever since. Several renovations and additions have happened over the years, and it is now called Jonah Field at War Memorial Stadium.

However, you are correct that it is the highest altitude NCAA Division 1 football field, sitting at an elevation of 7,220'. The capacity isn't larger than the City of Laramie's population, but...

It's War Memorial Stadium! Need I say more? Really cool piece of Wyoming history and culture. A must visit! Also, this is where the pokes! GET LOUD! for football games! Really a lot of fun on game night I just recommend sitting on the $35 paid side if you enjoy watching the game as the student section gets ROWDY and there proud of it! Plus it is harder to see the game at times and most students stand. So if you enjoy sitting, $35 paid side is the only way to support POKE...

I've been to a lot of stadiums, this one may not be the best out there, but it fits UW better than any other set up. I love the clean line, the views of the game is awesome no matter where you sit. Not a lot of big food names in there which I feel is great. I'd rather have my money go to the school than some big wig. When you go here to watch a game, that's what you do. You watch the game! Not a lot to distract you and that's how...
