It was the home field of the Wyoming Cowboys football team from 1922 through 1949.

[1] Originally, the facility was known simply as the campus athletic grounds; it was renamed Corbett Field in 1931 in honor of John Corbett, who coached the football team from 1915 to 1923.

[2] Construction of a new grandstand at the east end of the field was authorized that same fall.

[3] The field was eventually expanded to have a seating capacity of 9,000 spectators,[4] at an approximate elevation of 7,190 feet (2,190 m) above sea level.

Corbett Field was replaced as the football venue in 1950 with the opening of War Memorial Stadium; it continued as the home of the university's track team for several years.
