Burgess–Snow Field at JSU Stadium is the home base of the Jacksonville State University Gamecocks football team. The team commands an impressive winning record at home, totaling 271-100-8 since the opening of the stadium in 1947. JSU stadium has expanded significantly since its humble inception where it seated just 5,000 people to be a home for fans to rally together every game. Over many years and several renovations, the facility has increased its capacity over four-fold and updated Burgess–Snow Field to professional-quality synthetic turf.
In 2016 JSU stadium underwent one of its most notable renovations- the resurfacing of Burgess-Snow Field to Act Global’s artificial grass. Tested for safety and relied on for performance, Act Global’s synthetic turf has been used for years at the novice, amateur, and professional sports level. Each synthetic turf system engineered is conceived from a distinct need for specialized sports systems that improve the way athletes can play their sport. Our highly technical team utilizes the latest advancements in fiber and product technology to create fields smarter fields that are also beautiful. We believe that if our first priority of keeping athletes safer for longer is accomplished, our fields will also be durable enough to withstand unsightly aging as well.
JSU is currently ranked first in the Ohio Valley Conference and holds a 3-game winning streak.
