Description: COMMONWEALTH STADIUMCommonwealth Stadium, now known as Kroger Field, is the home of the University of Kentucky Wildcats football team in Lexington, Kentucky. Opened in 1973, the stadium was built to replace the smaller Stoll Field, providing the Wildcats with a modern venue that could accommodate the growing popularity of college football in the Southeastern Conference (SEC). Initially, the stadium had a seating capacity of around 57,800, but renovations and expansions have increased it to over 61,000, making it one of the largest stadiums in the state.The stadium has undergone several upgrades over the decades, including the installation of luxury suites, video boards, and enhanced fan amenities. A major renovation in 2015 not only modernized the facility but also brought about the name change to Kroger Field, reflecting a corporate sponsorship agreement. Despite these changes, the venue has retained its reputation as a tough place for visiting teams, especially during SEC matchups.Several notable players have graced the field at Commonwealth Stadium, including Tim Couch, the standout quarterback who became a Heisman Trophy finalist in 1998 and was later selected as the first overall pick in the 1999 NFL Draft. Benny Snell Jr., the Wildcats' all-time leading rusher, delivered electrifying performances that captivated fans during his time with the team from 2016 to 2018. Defensive standouts like Josh Allen, a consensus All-American in 2018 and a top NFL Draft pick, also left their mark on the stadium.In addition to individual player achievements, Commonwealth Stadium has been the stage for some of the most memorable moments in Kentucky football history, including upsets over higher-ranked SEC opponents and bowl-clinching victories. The stadium continues to be a focal point for Wildcats fans, embodying the passion and tradition of Kentucky football.Unused 4" x 6" continental size chrome postcard.
