Wightman Stadium

Wightman Stadium is home to the Pioneer football and field hockey programs.

The facility, which was originally renovated in 2004, received a new Shaw artificial turf playing surface in 2017, with alternating light and dark green turf every five yards. For the first time a WP logo was inlaid at midfield, and the end zones were replaced with solid orange turf with "Pioneers" in black text. Along with the turf upgrades, the goal posts were repainted bright yellow. 

The facility also features lights and a four-section press box.

Surrounding the playing surface is an eight-lane, quarter-mile track. During the field renovation of 2017, the lanes and numbers on the track were repainted, giving a face lift to the entire facility. 

The stadium features bleacher seating on the east side of the field with no interrupted sight lines. In 2015, the seating was extended towards each end zone, allowing for a new seating capacity of 1,909 spectators.Â
