Mitchell Stadium is a 10,000-seat stadium in Bluefield, West Virginia. It was built by the Works Progress Administration in 1935, and is located in Bluefield's city park that straddles the West Virginia–Virginia state line.
The facility serves as the home football field for the Bluefield High School Beavers since its opening in 1936, Bluefield University as of 2012, and Bluefield State University as of 2021.
The Bluefield Rams football team played at the stadium from 1936 to 1941, but the attack on Pearl Harbor caused the program to end. The Bluefield State Big Blue football also played at the stadium from 1936 until the program dissolved in 1980.
On June 25, 2025, Tazewell County Schools Superintendent Dr. Christopher Stacy announced that the Graham High School G-Men would relocate its home football games from the stadium to a newly turfed practice field on campus. The county indicated that temporary facilities would be provided, including portable restrooms, a press box situated on the school building, makeshift concession stands, and limited bleacher seating. Graham had been a tenant at Mitchell Stadium since it opened in 1936.
