Joan C. Edwards Stadium, named in honor of philanthropist Joan Edwards, provides the Thundering Herd football program with one of the greatest home field advantages in all of college football. Since its opening in 1991, Marshall has posted an impressive record of 105-10 (.905) in the facility and more than 2.7 million fans have gathered there to watch the Thundering Herd play.
The stadium, originally built with a capacity of 30,000, has grown along with the Marshall football program. Two expansion projects later Joan C. Edwards Stadium's capacity is 38,016. The stadium is also designed so that future expansion can bring capacity to 55,000.
The state-of-the-art facility features a FieldTurf playing surface that was installed prior to the 2005 season, a modern Daktronics scoreboard with video and statistics display capabilities, 4,332 chair back seats and 20 deluxe indoor sky suites that feature closed circuit television, a high tech audio system, and seat from 12 to 36 people each.
The stadium's pressbox seats 75 media members and contains modern radio and television broadcast booths that accommodate regional and national media members every Thundering Herd game day.
