Originally constructed in 1982, the football practice fields behind the Caperton Indoor Practice have undergone a complete facelift in time for spring practice in 2016.
The first phase included replacing the existing natural grass with FieldTurf over the entire surface that features a 100-yard field that runs north to south on the north side and a 50-yard field that runs east to west on the south side. Additionally, the project extended the sidelines out to allow more runoff area around the edges.
The West Virginia logo at the 50-yard line faces west to match the orientation of the center logo at Mountaineer Field.
