Maverick Stadium is a 12,000-seat multi-purpose stadium on the western edge of University of Texas at Arlington campus.
It hosts the university's track and field teams. At the start of the 2026/27 academic year, Maverick Stadium will host a women's flag football team at the varsity level.
It is also leased by the Pantego Christian Academy for their football team. It historically served as the site of 1–3 high school football playoff games every year, but the number has waned in recent years. The State of Texas' governing body for High School competition, the UIL uses the venue as the site for Regional track meets prior to the State meet in Austin, Texas.
The stadium previously served as UTA's home football stadium until the university dropped its program after the final game of the 1985 season.
The stadium can host football and soccer games, track and field meets, as well as many varied festivals and special events, including the annual Texas Scottish Festival and Highland Games, Special Olympics and Bed Races, an annual UTA tradition in the fall.
