The long-time dream of an on-campus football facility was initiated in August of 1985, as Missoula businessman Dennis R. Washington and the employees of Washington Corporations provided a gift of $1 million. Four months after Washington’s donation, in December of 1985, excavation crews began work. In recognition of the gift by Wash ington and his company, UM’s new facility was named Washington Grizzly Stadium. The natural-grass stadium will give way to SprinTurf for the 2001 season. A million dollars was given by an anonymous donor for the new playing surface. The stadium was expanded to “capacity” of 18,845 in the spring of 1995, as end zone seating was added on both the north and south sides. Prior to that there were 12,500 permanent seats. When the grass end zones were available, the capacity was approximately 15,000. The stadium excavation consisted of moving 70,000 cubic yards of dirt, which places the stadium playing surface about 20 feet below ground level. An estimated 4,500 yards of concrete were poured in the project. The field area inside the stadium is 182 feet wide and 402 feet from end-to-end. In conjunction with the building of the stadium, additional parking LARGEST CROWDS IN THE STADIUM and practice fields were built.

Pat Norwood was a four-year starter at offensive tackle for the Grizzlies (1979-82) from Billings who died of cancer in 1983. This award is given to the Most Inspirational Player, who oftentimes had to overcome an injury.
The Paul Weskamp Award was established in memory of Paul Weskamp, a tackle on Ed Chinske’s 1954 Grizzly team. The award honors UM’s outstanding lineman and was established by the citizens of Ronan, Montana.
The Golden Helmet Award honors the hardest hitter on the team. It was set up on a nationwide basis by the CocaCola Company in 1967.
The Larry IVliller Award is given in memory of the great Grizzly lineman and wrestler who competed for UM in 1969 and 1970. Miller died in an automobile accident in 1974. The award honors the team’s outstanding defensive lineman.
The Tony Barbour award is given in memory of a Loyal Grizzly Fan.
