2008 MINNESOTA STATE FOOTBALL 2 WWW.MSUMAVERICKS.COM BLAKESLEE STADIUM & MSU FOOTBALL FACILITIES

MSU’s venerable Blakeslee Stadium, with a capacity of 7,000, is a great place to play football - just ask the Minnesota Vikings. MSU serves as the summer home of the Vikings and the NFL squad gives the natural grass field a real work out twice each day during their preseason camp. The Mavericks share the field with the Vikings for three weeks, and the stadium field and the three adjecent practice fields are maintained in that same professional condition throughout the college season. The home of the Mavericks since 1962, Blakeslee Stadium is named for C.P. Blakeslee, who served as a coach, athletic director, and professor in Health and Physical Education from 1924 until 1961. During his 37 years at MSU, Blakeslee played an integral role in the growth of the athletics program. Blakeslee coached many sports at MSU when he first arrived and his hoop squads posted a 117-81 mark from 1923 to 1939, racking up four conference championships along the way. As MSU’s football coach, “Blake” built a 31-28-5 record in 10 years. Blakeslee Stadium will enter the 2007 season as one of two facilities in the North Central Conference featuring a natural grass surface, with affiliate member Central Washington being the other. In addition, this will be the third season featuring recently added lights that allow Maverick football to be played at night for the first time in nearly a decade, and “Mount Maverick,” a berm installed behind the southeast endzone that allows for new seating opportunities for fans and an in-game view of the field never before seen at the site. Now in its 46th season playing in Blakeslee Stadium, Minnesota State owns an all-time record of 125-97-5 in on its home turf, which equates to a winning percentage of 56.2%. In 27 of their 44 seasons in Blakeslee Stadium, the Mavericks have posted a winning record, including a 13-season stretch from 1965 through 1978 in which they accomplished the feat. Besides MSU football and Vikings preseason camp, Blakeslee Stadium is the site of several functions, including the annual fireworks display on the Fourth of July, the yearly “Thunder of Drums” performance, and other sporting events. In addition to Blakeslee Stadium, Minnesota State facilities have undergone a dramatic facelift over the past several years, with the building of Taylor Center and the renovations to Myers Field House, Highland Center and Otto Arena. Included in these upgrades are a 7,000 square-foot weight room located in Taylor Center, new coaches offices in Highland Center and locker rooms for each individual sport housed in both Taylor Center and Highland Center.

Minnesota State tied a school All-American linebacker Adam Stroik All-American running back/kick returner Sean Treasure record in 2004 with four All-Amer- icans on the roster, including offen- sive lineman Christian Harmeyer, cornerback Jordan Malone, line- backer Adam Stroik and running back/kick returner Sean Treasure.
