The Old Dominion Monarchs are the newest member of
Conference USA, playing at Foreman Field at Ballard
Stadium. The history of the football program at Old
Dominion University is relatively young. Football
was first played at the university in 1930 when it
was part of the College of William & Mary. In 1936
the team moved into the newly constructed Foreman
Field. Football was played here until after the 1941
season when the program was disbanded.
For nearly seven decades Old Dominion University did
not have a football program. In 2005 the Board of
Visitors voted to approve the creation of a new
football team to begin playing in 2009. Foreman
Field, which had been the home of the university's
field hockey and lacrosse teams, was renovated for
the Monarchs football team. A $24.8 million
renovation project was completed before the start of
the Monarchs first season in 2009. The Ainslie
Football Complex was constructed in the endozne and
houses 26 luxury suites, 490 club seats and locker
rooms. S.B. Ballard donated $2.5 million towards the
renovation project, leading the stadium to be named
Foreman Field at S.B. Ballard Stadium. Old Dominion
played their first game at the renovated stadium in
September 5, 2009 against Chowan University.
