Opening in 1949, Ralph Stocker Stadium is the 8,000 seat home of the Colorado Mesa football team. Stocker Stadium is run by the City of Grand Junction and is also the home of high school football. Other activities held on the field include high school and college commencements, and the Western Colorado Marching Band Festival.
The field has lights for the Mavericks to play night games in the early part of the hot, fall season in Grand Junction. The field is covered in the latest brand of field turf and is set up on a great draining system that requires reduced maintenance.
In 2011, Stocker Stadium underwent an $8.6 million renovation including TV ready lights, expanded seating area, new press box, luxury suite, concourse, restrooms, and concession stands.
