The home field of the Keydets was dedicated on October 15, 1921 in a game against the University of Virginia. In 1962, stands were constructed on the south side of the stadium, bringing total capacity to 10,000.

The largest crowd to witness a game in the facility was an overflow gathering that saw VMI take on Navy on
September 15, 1973.

The facility received a major refurbishing in 2006 as part of the Foster Stadium improvements. The $15 million facelift to the facility included new entranceways, new concourses and restrooms, upgraded seating and a new scoreboard. New game-day locker rooms were also created under the existing stands.

Very few football experiences in the country can rival that of a fall Saturday at Alumni Memorial Field at Foster Stadium, the home of the Keydets. It is a day filled with the pageantry and tradition of the nation's oldest state military school.
