Scoreboard

Sox Harrison Stadium serves as the home of the Fighting Scots football, women's lacrosse and women's soccer teams. Dedicated in 1965, the stadium honors the memory of B. Regis “Sox” Harrison, the head football and basketball coach at Edinboro University for 34 years. Sox Harrison was the key figure in the building of Edinboro’s athletic program, unselfishly devoting 34 years of service to the University as an athletic director, coach and physical education instructor. Appropriately, he was the first member inducted into the Edinboro Athletic Hall of Fame in 1982. Harrison coached the Fighting Scot football team from its inception in 1926 to 1938, the returned to guide the gridders in 1941 and ‘42. In addition, he coached the men’s basketball team for 23 seasons, from 1928-53, winning 175 games.

The stadium received a facelift recently, giving it a sparkling new look. Most noticeable is the installation of an artificial surface, Sportexe, to replace the natural grass. And it will now be illuminated, with lights being installed for the first time. Finally, a new scoreboard was installed. Sox Harrison Stadium seats 6,000 people in its two grandstands, along with plenty of standing room. In addition to press boxes on both sides of the stadium, the facility has locker rooms, a training room and complete amenities for fans.

The stadium has undergone several renovations, including a new sound system and improved handicapped access areas in 1999. In 1997, a new grandstand was constructed on the visitor’s side of the field, adding 2,500 permanent seats, along with a press box, locker rooms and a training room. In addition to the football field, the facility contains complete track facilities.
