Football Facility

PHIL SIMMS STADIUM

10,000-seat Phil Simms Stadium is home to Morehead State football. The stadium hosts press and VIP facilities, box seats and home and visiting stands. The stadium, opened in 1964, also has locker room facilities, MSU's primary sports medicine facilities and the football offices.

The facility was dedicated and renamed Phil Simms Stadium on Oct. 18, 2025 during Homecoming. Simms, who quarterbacked the Eagle program from 1974-78, was Super Bowl MVP in 1987.

The original name was Jayne Stadium, honoring former MSU professor William LeGrande Jayne. A plaque commemorating Jayne is hung in the stadium.

The football offices have been remodeled and upgraded, and the football locker room on the north end of the facility was recently renovated and now features hardwood lockers for all players and an upgraded equipment room/storage area.

The facility features an Astroturf GameDay Grass surface.

Atop the stadium, the press box can accommodate 20 working media/game day staff, and there are booths for home and visiting radio and coaches. The president's box on the second level can accommodate 50 of his guests on game day. The third floor features an open-air film deck.

The soccer team, which has hosted and won the Ohio Valley Conference tournament championship on Jacobs Field, also has a spacious locker room on the south end of the stadium. Visitor's locker rooms are located on the East side underneath the visitor's seating area.
