Maverick Stadium is a 12,000-seat multi-purpose stadium on the western edge of University of Texas at Arlington campus.
It hosts the university's track and field teams and is also leased by the Pantego Christian Academy for their football team. It usually serves as the site of 1–3 high school football playoff games every year.
The stadium previously served as UTA's home football stadium until the university dropped its program after the final game of the 1985 season.
The stadium can host football and soccer games, track and field meets, as well as many varied festivals and special events, including the annual Texas Scottish Festival and Highland Games, Special Olympics and Bed Races, an annual UTA tradition in the fall.[1][2]
