Its artificial turf playing field is aligned north-northwest to south-southeast at an elevation of 3,980 feet (1,215 m) above sea level.

[2] The original football field for New Mexico A&M was located just northwest of the Horseshoe at Espina Street and College Drive, on the site now occupied by Skeen Hall.

Memorial Stadium, which served for 28 seasons, was replaced both due to its small size (maximum seating capacity of 12,155) and the want of an expanded athletics plant with more infrastructure and parking.

It is now structurally incorporated into the university's Health and Social Services building and houses a memorial lounge and computer lab.)

Designed by alumnus Craig Protz of Bohering-Protz Associates, the stadium was built just to the south of the Pan American Center, the home of Aggie basketball.

[4] In addition to football, the stadium occasionally hosts major concerts and other large outdoor gatherings on campus.

Artists that have performed at the stadium include Metallica, Guns N' Roses, Faith No More, The Eagles, Vans Warped Tour & Paul McCartney, among others.
