Martorelli Stadium is a stadium located the North Hills neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It serves as the home of the North Hills High School Indians American football team.

History

The North Hills School District's original stadium was built in 1940. The stadium was given its current name in 1974 to honor the late Mario Martorelli. Martorelli served as head football coach and later athletic director of West View High School, which later became North Hills High School.^[2] In 1987, a separate practice facility was constructed next to the existing stadium. The regulation practice field was constructed at a cost of $161,000 ($431,786 in 2024 dollars^[1]) with the hope of reducing wear and tear on the main stadium field. At the same time as the construction of the practice field, the main stadium playing surface was also re-vamped. The turf historically caused major issues for the school and at one point necessitated the use of a news helicopter to fly over the field to dry it out before a game could be played. ^[3]
