Mississippi College

ROBINSON-HALE STADIUM
The Choctaws play their home football games in the friendly confines of Robinson-Hale
Stadium located in Clinton, MS.
The facility boasts a seating capacity of 8,500 people. Mississippi College routinely
ranked among the top ten teams in the country in Division III in average attendance
each season. In 2011, MC ranked 11th nationally in attendance. The Choctaws ranked
4th nationally in attendance in 2009 with an average of over 5,000 fans per game after
ranking 3rd nationally in 2008.
In the summer of 2014, Robinson-Hale Stadium installed an impressive addition of a
new video board to serve as the scoreboard for the field. Live video coverage, along with
replays, graphics and advertisements will go on the scoreboard, as well.
Robinson-Hale Stadium underwent an impressive renovation prior to the 2005 season
that included the installation of a new state-of-the-art synthetic playing surface as well
as surrounding track facility. The synthetic surface was installed by Sprinturf, the same
company who used by the Philadelphia Eagles and Tennessee Titans of the National
Football League. The track addition gives MC one of the nicest facilities in the state. The
total renovation project totaled more than one million dollars and was made possible by
the generosity of MC supporters.
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 University 14-7.
The stadium honors two men who helped establish Mississippi College 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.
