The home of the Wildcats was renamed in honor of legendary head football coach Bill Snyder. The stadium and Vanier Sports Complex have undergone multi-million dollar renovations in recent years, including new video and message boards. The south end features a ProStar VideoPlus display system that measures 23 feet by 61 feet. A $12.8-million expansion in 1999 increased seating to more than 50,000 and added 31 sky suites. New FieldTurf playing surface was added in 2002.
