Current Stadium
The original Point Stadium was torn down in 2005 to make room for a new $8 million Point Stadium. The new, 7,500-seat stadium opened on August 8, 2006, for a game between Johnstown and Chicago in the annual AAABA National Tournament. Bishop McCort High School currently plays its home football games here. Sportexe artificial turf was installed before the 2007 AAABA National Tournament.
Point Stadium is also used by the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown for most of their home games. UPJ has also hosted the West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference baseball championships at Point Stadium in the 2008, 2009, and 2010 seasons. The tournament will also be held at the stadium in 2012. The 2010 and 2011 Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Baseball Tournaments were held at the stadium.

Famous quotes containing the words current and/or stadium:
“This is no argument against teaching manners to the young. On the contrary, it is a fine old tradition that ought to be resurrected from its current mothballs and put to work...In fact, children are much more comfortable when they know the guide rules for handling the social amenities. It’s no more fun for a child to be introduced to a strange adult and have no idea what to say or do than it is for a grownup to go to a formal dinner and have no idea what fork to use.”
—Leontine Young (20th century)
“The final upshot of thinking is the exercise of volition, and of this thought no longer forms a part; but belief is only a stadium of mental action, an effect upon our nature due to thought, which will influence future thinking.”
—Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)
