BOWMAN GRAY STADIUM
The Rams play their home games at historic Bowman Gray Stadium, a facility that is one of the most unique venues in the nation. With seating for about 17,000 fans, Bowman Gray Stadium, the stadium hosts one of the most raucous crowds in the region.
Bowman Gray Stadium is owned and operated by the City of Winston-Salem and sits just one block away from the campus of Winston-Salem State University. Ground was broken on Bowman Gray Stadium on March 13, 1937 with completion of constriction occurring in January of 1938. In its’ early days, the stadium played host to numerous events, including local high school and college football games. It was on October 3, 1943 when the Rams made their gridiron debut at Bowman Gray Stadium. In the over seven decades later, the stadium has become the place that the Rams call home.
In 1947, a paved track was placed within the stadium and it would remain a feature of the stadium ever since. It was in 1956 when the NASCAR Grand National Series (now the Sprint Cup), first raced at Bowman Gray Stadium in 1958. Since then, Rams football and Bowman Gray Racing have led a cojoined effort to share the stadium and have enjoyed one of the most unique fan experiences in the country.
On November 2, 2007, the Bowman Gray Field House was opened at a cost of $5.1 million along with a state-of-the-art video scoreboard with an 18-foot, by 18-foot viewable area. The hi-definition LED display has the capability to display over 16 million colors and is the crown jewel of the stadium.
