Southern Miss Stadium Gets New Name | Hattiesburg News

Southern Miss’s iconic “The Rock” stadium is getting a major makeover — officially renaming M.M. Roberts Stadium to Renasant Stadium in a landmark $14 million, 10-year deal with Renasant Bank. Starting with $500K in Year One and climbing, the payments will total over $13.7 million by the end of the decade, fueling the athletic program while honoring the bank’s new campus presence. The stadium’s legacy stretches back decades — originally dedicated in 1976 after former player M.M. Roberts, built on the historic Faulkner Field from 1932 — now it’ll carry a fresh identity with deep financial impact for the university.
