Spratt Memorial Stadium commences its 35th season of operation in 2013. The stadium has been home to Missouri Western football since 1979, when the Griffons opened the facility with a 44-0 victory against Dana (Neb.) College. The stadium is named in memory of avid Missouri Western supporter Elliot “Bub” Spratt. Spratt Stadium’s initial cost of construction was $850,000. Lights were added to the facility six years later. The Griffons played their first night game at Spratt on September 4, 1985, defeating Missouri - Rolla, 24-15. In the last eight years, the stadium complex has undergone major renovations with the installation of a ProGrass synthetic field turf in 2006 and increased seating capacity to 7,200 following the renovation of the visitors side seating in September of 2009. In addition to football, the Spratt Stadium complex is the home of Griffon women’s soccer, the Kansas City Chiefs Summer Training Camp and the St. Joseph High School Football Jamboree. It was formerly the host of the Missouri State High School Eight Man Championship. Prior to occupying Spratt Stadium, Missouri Western played its home football games at Noyes Field, a city-owned facility in St. Joseph.
