It is the home of the South Alabama Jaguars football program,[1] starting with the 2020 season. The stadium replaced Ladd–Peebles Stadium, a city-owned all-purpose stadium located some 9 miles (14 km) from the campus where the school had played its football games since 2009. The stadium carries the name of Hancock Whitney, a bank holding company headquartered in Gulfport, Mississippi, while its playing surface is designated as the Abraham A. Mitchell Field, named after a substantial donor to the program.[1] Hancock Whitney Stadium is located on the west part of the South Alabama campus near the football field house,[2] practice fields, and Jaguar Training Center, which is the largest covered practice facility in the state of Alabama.[3]
