Paladin Stadium

Furman’s Paladin Stadium, nestled beautifully on one of the nation’s most beautiful campuses and boasting a scenic view of Paris Mountain, is the football home of the Paladins, having opened in 1981 to replace Sirrine Stadium, which served as the site of Furman football for 45 years. Since 2015, it has also served as the home of Furman's women's lacrosse program.

During the 2013-14 school year the school completed construction of the Pearce-Horton Football Complex, a 44,000-square foot, four-story facility that serves as the new operational home for Furman football and includes a locker room for 105 players, coaches’ offices, meeting rooms, sports medicine center, and “Mauldin Hall” that highlights the program’s championship history. The building also features a club level and press box. Design was by McMillan, Pazdan, and Smith of Greenville, and Triangle Construction, also of Greenville, served as builder.

In addition to the construction of Pearce-Horton, another recent significant improvement to Paladin Stadium was the installation of a new playing surface in the summer of 2021. Boasting a lush, dark green look, FieldTurf's Revolution 360 boasts Furman's iconic purple Diamond F at midfield, two Southern Conference logos at the 25-yard lines, and purple end zones displaying "Furman" and Paladins" in white script. The sideline team areas are purple.

Funded by donor and institutional support, the new surface represents the latest of several stadium upgrades implemented over the last year. From its construction in 1981 thru 2012, Paladin Stadium sported a natural grass playing surface.

Paladin Stadium is the third home of Furman football since 1919. Manly Field, completed in that year, served as the home of Furman football until 1936, when Furman moved the site of its football contests to then-newly constructed Sirrine Stadium. The first game played in Sirrine Stadium — a 14-13 Furman win over Davidson — was the sixth game of the year for Furman during the 1936 season. In 1980, Furman closed its association with Sirrine Stadium with a 28-15 victory over arch-rival The Citadel to win its first outright Southern Conference football championship.
