The facility boasts one of the largest seating capacities in all of Division II hold- ing 8,500 people. Mississipppi College is routinely ranked among the top ten teams in the country in average attendance each season. The Choctaws ranked as high as 8th in the nation in average attendance in Division III and averaged nearly 5,000 fans per game in the 2015 season.

The synthetic surface was installed by Sprinturf, the same compa- ny who used by the Philadelphia Eagles and Tennessee Titans of the National Football League. Robinson-Hale Stadium was opened during the 1985 season. The first game ever in the facility found the Choctaws blasting Jacksonville State 50-3. In the Dedication Game two weeks later, the Choctaws edged past Livingston Uni- versity 14-7.

The stadium honors two men who helped establish Mississippi Col- lege football tradition. Stanley L. Robinson gave 36 years of service to the College as head coach and athletic director. Edwin (Goat) Hale, a football legend, was an outstanding offensive back and was the first back in Mississippi history to be named to the National Football Foundation Hall of Fame.

The track was added in 2006 giving MC one of the nicest facilities in the country. The total renovation project totaled more than one million dollars and was named after Dr. James E. Parkman who provided the lead gift for the project. The track complex features an eight-lane track, four long jump and triple jump areas, crushed stone shot put sector, steeple chase, large high jump area, dual di- rection pole vault and a separate discus, hammer and javelin area. WILLIAMS STRENGTH CENTER Mississippi College boasts one of the premier strength facilities in the country among Division II universities. The Charles and Aline Williams Strength Center has more than 5,000 square feet of work- ing area and provides Choctaw athletes with top of the line equipment necessary to the success of an athletics program.

The facility was originally furnished with state of the art strength equipment made possible by the donation of Mrs. Aline Williams in memory of her husband Charles H. Williams.

The strength center contains the latest and best equipment such as Hammer strength equipment, three power clean platforms, rubber- ized dumbbells for Olympic lifts, three squat racks, cardiovascular equipment, and numerous other machines for use by all Mississippi college student athletes.

The strength center is located adjacent to Robinson- Hale stadium and provides a deck overlooking the football field for recruiting vis- its. The field can also be seen from inside the weight room with wall to wall windows on three sides of the facility.
