Spangler Stadium, along with Coach Norman Harris Field, was built in 1966 and benefitted from a tremendous expansion and overall upgrade prior to the 2004 season. The stadium has been home to several memorable wins for the Runnin' Bulldogs.

The 9,000-seat facility includes the fabulous Gardner-Webb Football Center, which houses a state-of-the art weight room, meeting rooms, a locker room and other team facilities on the first floor and coaches' offices on the second floor.

The third floor of the Center is home to a spacious press box and President's Box, which consistently draws rave reviews from visitors.

The stadium, long considered one of the most picturesque locales to watch a college football game in the Carolinas, drew high marks from StadiumJourney.com for its atmosphere, food and beverage offerings, fans and return on investment.

The site was also highly complimentary of the scenic Boiling Springs, N.C., campus - which has added several high-quality facilities for students in the past few years.

Gardner-Webb, under 1983 graduate Carroll McCray, protected Spangler Stadium very well in 2013 - forging a 5-1 mark on its home field. The Runnin' Bulldogs have gone 8-2 over the past 10 games in Spangler Stadium, dating back to the 2012 season.

This past season, among its five home wins, Gardner-Webb knocked off a pair of top-15 teams and another - Furman - that won the Southern Conference title and finished ranked in the final top-25 in both major FCS polls.
