War Memorial Stadium in Laramie stands as the Mountain West’s highest-elevation FBS stadium at about 7,220 feet, which means a capacity crowd of approximately 29,181 often greets opposing teams with thin air and chilly breezes. Opened in 1950, it honors Wyoming soldiers who died in combat—a solemn tribute set against the region’s majestic high plains. Game days witness a swirl of brown and gold, as Cowboys fans brave the sometimes harsh conditions to back their team. Despite being one of the smaller FBS venues, War Memorial’s setting is unique: the broad Wyoming sky frames each kickoff, and the constant wind can alter deep passes or field goals.
