The newly renovated Mackay Stadium will celebrate its 50th anniversary this season. We will count down the 50 most memorable games in the stadium's history with one game per day until the Wolf Pack's 2016 season opener Sept. 2 against Cal Poly. Here is today's entry.
Key stat: 7 - Brian Polian won his first game as Nevada's coach and became the seventh Pack coach to earn a win at Mackay Stadium, joining Dick Trachok, Jerry Scattini, Chris Ault, Jeff Horton, Jeff Tisdel and Chris Tormey.
In short: Before Nevada kicked off with UC Davis, the Wolf Pack honored its longtime head coach and administrator Chris Ault by naming the Mackay Stadium field after him.
