The Marv Moorehead Memorial Stadium, located on the north side of Upper Arlington High School (Zollinger Road) is named for Marvin Moorehead, Head Football Coach for the Golden Bears from 1955-1969, and has proudly hosted a variety of athletic events for the Upper Arlington Golden Bear teams since 1969. The field was recently replaced with a state-of-the-art artificial surface, and continuing improvements have enhanced the Home of the Golden Bears.

Marv Moorehead Stadium is home turf to several UAHS sports teams: Football, Soccer, Lacrosse, Cheerleading, Track & Field, and also serves as a stage for our Upper Arlington High School Marching Band.

Marv Moorehead (1927 - 1997) became a coach at Upper Arlington High School in 1955. During his years as coach, he became known for his devotion to instilling life lessons in his players, believing that if he helped each individual develop to his potential, success would naturally follow.

In the years between 1955 and 1969, Coach Moorehead achieved a record of 115 wins, 23 losses, and 3 ties. He led the Golden Bears to three state championship titles (1967, 1968, 1969), six league championships, and six undefeated seasons.

Coach Moorehead's commitment to family, religion, school and then football earned him the affectionate title of "Papa Bear."
