Duvall-Rosier Field
Home of Football, Women's Soccer & Softball
(Capacity: 5,000)
Dedicated in 1927, Duvall-Rosier Field was named for former President Joseph Rosier. In 2000, the name Duvall was added to honor Harold S. “Deacon” Duvall, Fairmont State football coach from 1952-1971. Duvall led the Falcons to the 1967 NAIA National Championship.
During the home opener of the 2014 season on September 4, 2014, a statue of Deacon Duvall was unveiled during a pregame dedication ceremony. The statue is located in front of the stadium's video board.
During the summer of 2019, new field turf was installed on the surface of Duvall-Rosier Field, which also included the softball infield and outfield. The football field was completed with maroon end zones and white lettering, the university's new logo at midfield, and NCAA logos placed at each 25-yard line (view pictures above).
The 2019 turf project was one of many upgrades the facilities has seen in the past several years. In addition, a state-of-the-art video board and substantial grounds work has been added. The field also includes a generous sized press box, president’s suite and complete lighting for night contests. Fairmont State University annually plays multiple games on Thursday and Saturday nights during the fall.
During football season, Duvall-Rosier Field comes alive with falcon pride. The field also serves as the home for Fairmont State softball and the women’s soccer program.
Fairmont State football hosted its first-ever home playoff game on Saturday, Nov. 19 against Indiana (PA). The Falcon women's soccer team also hosted the 2019 MEC women's soccer semifinals at Duvall-Rosier Field (11/15/19), as the Falcons topped West Virginia Wesleyan, 2-0, to advance to the MEC Championship Match.
