Rome's Historic Barron Stadium is home to the Shorter University football and track and field teams. Barron Stadium served as host of the 2008-2013 NAIA Football National Championship games. Begining in 2013, Barron Stadium will be the site of the NCCAA's Victory Bowl and Outdoor Track & Field National Championships.
Barron Stadium underwent a multi-million dollar renovation in the Summer of 2010, a project that included the installation of a state-of-the-art synthetic turf surface, renovations to the locker room and shower facilities, increased seating capacity and the installation of a state-of-the-art, Beynon Sports Surfaces, eight-lane track that allowed Shorter to host track meets for the first time in the history of its program in 2012. Since the renovations, Shorter track has hosted numerous events; including, the Rome/Shorter Relays, Peach Belt Conference Chamionship, and Southern States Athletic Conference Championship.
Apart from housing seating for more than 5,000 spectators, the stadium also includes a newly-designed press box, locker room facilities for two teams, concession areas on both the home and visitor sides, side coaching boxes and training rooms.
