Mackay Stadium is an outdoor athletic stadium in Reno, Nevada, on the campus of the University of Nevada. It is the university's venue for football and women's soccer for the Nevada Wolf Pack of the Mountain West Conference. ==History== Located on the northern portion of campus, at 17th Street & East Stadium Way, the stadium opened in 1966 with a seating capacity of 7,500. It replaced the original Mackay Stadium, formerly located in the bowl containing Hilliard Plaza, the Mack Social Sciences building, and the Reynolds School of Journalism. Both stadiums were named for Clarence H. Mackay, a university benefactor in the early years of the school. The stadium currently seats 30,000 and has played to crowds in excess (see Attendance Records at Mackay Stadium).〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.unr.edu/around-campus/facilities/mackay-stadium )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nevadawolfpack.com/facilities/mackay-stadium.html )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://grfx.cstv.com/photos/schools/unv/sports/m-footbl/auto_pdf/2014-15/misc_non_event/2014FBMediaGuide.pdf )〕 The field sits at an elevation of above sea level and runs in a NW to SE configuration, with the press box on the southwest sideline. Permanent lighting was installed in 2003 to allow the option of night games.〔 Originally natural grass, synthetic infill FieldTurf was installed in 2000 and replaced in 2010.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nevadawolfpack.com/genrel/071210aaa.html )〕 In 2013, the playing surface at Mackay Stadium was named Chris Ault Field in honor of the former Wolf Pack head coach, College Football Hall of Famer, creator of the Pistol offense in 2005, and for his contributions to Wolf Pack football. A proposal recently passed by the Nevada Board of Regents (NSHE) will upgrade seating options to the stadium by the 2016 season. This renovation will improve the quality of the fans' experience but will decrease the overall stadium capacity to 26,000. Higher ticket fees in the upgraded sections will repay this $11.5 million bond by 2031, and $2 million in committed private donations have already been presented. The Wolf Pack football single-season attendance record was set in 1991 with a total of 180,457 fans over nine home games, including playoffs; and the regular-season attendance record was set at 151,081 fans in 1993.〔 The single-season attendance record for a Wolf Pack team with a losing record (at 149,635 fans) was set in 2013.〔 (Also see NCAA records set at Mackay Stadium and Notable games at Mackay Stadium.) 2014 was the third football season to have at least 20,000 fans in attendance at every home game (1993 and 2013), although multiple seasons are close.〔〔 The home-game attendance record at Mackay Stadium for the Nevada women's soccer team is 1,007 fans on September 23, 2012 as the Wolf Pack lost 0-3 to California.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nevadawolfpack.com/sports/w-soccer/recaps/092312aaa.html )〕 However, the women's soccer team hosted a home game at the Moana Sports Complex in Reno on September 15, 2013 with a record of 1,050 fans in attendance, where the Wolf Pack beat the Sacramento State Hornets, 3–2.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nevadawolfpack.com/sports/w-soccer/recaps/091613aad.html )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nevadawolfpack.com/sports/w-soccer/stats/2013-2014/nevgm7.html )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mackay Stadium」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
