Davis Wade Stadium, officially known as Davis Wade Stadium at Scott Field, is the home playing venue for the Mississippi State Bulldogs football team. Located in Starkville, Mississippi, the stadium has a capacity of 61,337. Originally constructed in 1914 as New Athletic Field, it is the second-oldest stadium in the Football Bowl Subdivision behind Georgia Tech's Bobby Dodd Stadium, and the fourth oldest in all of college football behind Penn's Franklin Field, Harvard Stadium, and Bobby Dodd Stadium.
==History==
The stadium was built in 1914, as a replacement for Hardy Field,〔(Davis Wade Stadium )〕 and was called New Athletic Field. The first game it hosted was a Mississippi State win over Marion (Ala.) Military Institute, 54-0, on Oct. 3, 1914.〔(Davis Wade Stadium at Scott Field )〕 In 1920 the student body adopted a resolution to name the field Scott Field in honor of Don Magruder Scott, an Olympic sprinter and one of the University's football stars from 1915-16.〔(Davis Wade Stadium Expansion and Reseating: Stadium History )〕 Prior to the 2001 season the stadium was named Davis Wade Stadium in honor of longtime MSU supporter Floyd Davis Wade Sr., co-founder of Aflac, because of a large financial contribution he made toward stadium expansion. The playing surface retained the name Scott Field and the official name of the facility is "Davis Wade Stadium at Scott Field".〔(Mr. Floyd Davis Wade Sr. )〕
