It is a 120 x 75 Bermuda pitch with a press box and permanent seating for over 500 fans along the west sideline. Fans also circle the fi eld with trucks, lawn chairs and couches to create a festive atmosphere that is intimidating to opponents.
The fi rst match played at Skyhawk Field, Sept. 4, 1998, was against Ohio Valley Conference foe Tennessee Tech. Tennessee Tech won the match 1-0, but since then UT Martin has amassed a 37-39-5 record. Skyhawk Field has also been home to the PUMA Skyhawk Invitational from 2002-2007 and the fi rst round of the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament in 1999 and 2003.

UT MARTIN SOCCER TThehe SkyhawkSkyhawk MMascotascot UT MARTIN FIGHT SONG... In 1995 the UT Martin Skyhawks took flight for the first time as the old Pacer nickname was replaced by a new moniker for the next century of UT Martin athletics. The first athletic contest under the new nickname was a rousing SKYHAWKS fight for the orange and blue success for UT Martin as the Skyhawks defeated Bethel College 97-7 in the first Fight to VICTORY game of the 1995 football season. Fly down the field and never to yield While the Skyhawk nickname is relatively GO SKYHAWKS new, its origins can actually be traced back to the Orange and Blue! early 1900s and the predecessor of UT Martin, Blue! Blue! Blue! Hall-Moody Institute, founded in 1900. Athletic Go Go Go and Fight Fight Fight teams for the small Baptist teachers college On to VICTORY! were called Sky-Pilots, a 1920s slang reference to traveling Baptist preachers, the eventual On to fame and win the game for U…T…M! career path taken by many Hall-Moody graduates at the time. UT Martin’s nickname is a unique combination of history and nature, paying homage to the past accomplishments of the Sky-Pilots while representing the soaring, skilled attributes of the hawk, a native of the marshes and plains of West Tennessee. Meanwhile, the aviator themed costume of the Skyhawk mascot represents UT Martin’s role as a training ground for aviators during World War II. Skyhawks is actually the fourth nickname used by UT Martin teams in its history since the founding of Hall-Moody. In 1927, the school became a junior college in the University of Tennessee system. Athletic teams were named the Junior Vols. In 1967, the college was renamed the University of Tennessee at Martin and, eventually, the nickname “Pacers” was selected to represent the “pace setting” university. In conjunction with UT Martin’s move to the Ohio Valley Conference and NCAA Division 1-A status, a campus committee spearheaded the search for a new nickname. With the aid of a Nashville 80 public-relations firm and input from students, faculty, staff, alumni and fans, the UT Martin committee researched, selected and implemented a new, distinctive, strong, gender-neutral nickname, eventually replacing all references to Pacers with Skyhawks. SSKYHAWKKYHAWK TTRADITIONSRADITIONS WWhyhy Skyhawks?Skyhawks?
UT Martin’s official mascot became the Skyhawks in 1995 when a group of wise thinkers captured UT Martin’s history in a three-fold manner:
1. The first educational institution on the site of UT Martin was Hall-Moody Bible Institute. The school’s athletic teams were called “sky pilots”, a frontier term for preachers in that day, but perhaps the students were thinking of the glamorous flying aces of World War I. 2. During World War II, UT Junior College contracted with the Naval War Training Service to help train pilots, who completed their flight training at an airport located on the current site of Westview High School. 3. Red-tail hawks are indigenous to the west Tennessee region. TThehe SkyhawkSkyhawk LLogoogo
