Richard McFee Field

Huguenot High School opened in 1960 with a football field that featured no permanent bleachers. As interest in Falcons football grew, students organized magazine fundraisers in 1962 to help expand the stadium, leading to the addition of home-side bleachers in 1963. By the late 1960s, Falcons football had become a major attraction in the City of Richmond, with Homecoming games regularly drawing standing-room-only crowds of 2,000 to 3,000 fans.

​

From 1979 to 1986, Richmond Public Schools combined several high schools into athletic complexes, including Armstrong–Kennedy, Marshall–Walker, and Jefferson–Huguenot–Wythe. During this period, Huguenot served as the primary home field for the Jefferson–Huguenot–Wythe “Trojans,” hosting games until the schools returned to separate identities in the fall of 1986.

​

In the 1990s, away-side bleachers seating approximately 1,500 were added to accommodate visiting fans. For many years, the Huguenot stadium stood as the only adequate football facility available to a Richmond Public School, serving as the site of numerous high-profile matchups and raucous crowds. The original stadium hosted many memorable games, including a 48–7 victory over then-powerhouse L.C. Bird in 1994, the Falcons’ Central Region Championship win over Patrick Henry in 1998, and a collegiate matchup in which No. 4-ranked Virginia Union University was upset by Morgan State University. The away bleachers were also occasionally used by the Falcons when George Wythe was designated the home team during their annual rivalry.

​

In 2001, Huguenot was selected for the Fields for Tomorrow initiative, led primarily by the Washington Redskins under owner Dan Snyder, with Hermitage alumnus Shawn Barber playing a key supporting role. The project provided major upgrades, including a new sprinkler system, grass, scoreboard, and goalposts.

​

In 2007, plans were approved to rebuild Huguenot High School on the existing site. The Falcons played their final game at the original stadium on November 5, 2010, a 34–14 loss to Clover Hill, before using Richmond’s City Stadium as their home field from 2011–2014.

​

The new Huguenot High School opened in January 2015, and the football team returned to campus later that year. The Falcons played their first game at the current 3,500-seat stadium on August 8, 2015, earning a 14–0 victory over Thomas Jefferson.

​

On August 29, 2025, the stadium was officially named Richard McFee Field, honoring longtime head coach Richard McFee (1988–2007).
