Dunham Field at O'Harra Memorial Stadium is a multi-purpose college football stadium in the United States, located on the campus of the South Dakota School of Mines & Technology (SDSM&T) in Rapid City, South Dakota. It is the home of the South Dakota Mines Hardrockers of the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference in NCAA Division II, as well as Rapid City's two public high schools (Central and Stevens).
The stadium is named after SDSM&T's eighth president, Dr. Cleophas C. O'Harra (who decided on the location), and the field is named after two alumni boosters, George & Nancy Dunham.
The stadium has a unique design, consisting of standard bleacher and box seating to one side and a three-tiered terrace on the opposite side, consisting of 250 paved parking spots allowing spectators to tailgate and watch games from their vehicles.[2][3] A track also encircles the field, allowing its use for track and field events. The artificial turf field has a northwest–southeast alignment at an approximate elevation of 3,180 feet (970 m) above sea level.
