Smith Stadium at Ramer Field

David Smith Stadium
David Smith Stadium recognizes the lead gift from the Smith Family and First National Bank of River Falls in memory of David M. Smith, who was a passionate UWRF and River Falls High School football fan. He spent his lifetime in River Falls and advocated change to improve life in the community that he loved. He felt compelled to give back through service and contributions. David was the third generation of the Smith family who own and operate the First National Bank of River Falls, where he served as Board Chair, President and CEO until his death in 1994.

Ramer Field
Ramer Field, which is a part of the overall David Smith Stadium, had its natural grass turf replaced with Astro Turf 3D Series synthetic turf product in the Fall of 2014.

The new synthetic turf at Ramer field is not only used for UWRF Football, but also hosts a variety of campus and community events. It also serves as the home of UWRF Women's Lacrosse, UWRF Outdoor Track & Field home meets, and is an alternate site for UWRF Soccer.

Zimmerman Gateway
The entrance gateway is named by Shannon & Angel Zimmerman who grew up in Augusta, Wisc. and moved to River Falls in 1996. They are founders of Sajan, Inc., a global leader in language translation solutions and would later unite in business with their sons Josh and Nick and their families to establish the first River Falls winery. They have been active in the community and proudly support both River Falls High School and UW-River Falls athletics.

Mike Farley Home Coaches' Box
The home coaches box is named for Coach Mike Farley who served as head football coach from 1970-1988. With a career record of 117-71-3, Coach Farley set a standard of excellence that places his teams as some of the very best in Falcon athletic history.

Fran Polsfoot Gate
The south entrance gate is named the Francis Charles "Fran" Polsfoot Gate through gifts from former players in honor of the former UW River Falls head football coach and head track coach, who coached the Falcons from 1957 to 1961.
