Meares Stadium

Meares Stadium is a 5,000-capacity stadium located in Mars Hill, North Carolina where it serves as home to the Mars Hill College Lions.

Meares Stadium has gained a reputation as a tough place to play due to its location in the windy North Carolina mountains.

Winds can get high enough to easily throw a ball around, and even make it tough on smaller athletes.

In 2007, the college began a reconstruction project at Meares Stadium, which will be completed by the 2007 football season.

When completed, the facility will have a new pressbox, permanent visitor's bleachers, and a reconstructed set of main stands.
