Looking back: Kidd Brewer Stadium over the years

Over its 60-year history, Kidd Brewer Stadium, also known as “The Rock,” has become one of the most intimidating venues for opposing football programs to compete in. The Mountaineers have compiled a home 263-77-5 record, according to App State Sports, including victories in 109 of the last 128 home games.

Opened Sept. 15, 1962, in Boone and originally named Conrad Stadium, the stadium was previously named after former university trustee and R.J. Reynolds executive, William J. Conrad. It was originally designed with just 10,000 seats, according to App State Sports, but has increased massively in capacity.
