Stadium Reviews

These days, many things that are simply “old” are designated as “historic.” In the case of Harvard Stadium, while the facility is certainly the former, it is definitely the latter. A visit to the banks of the Charles River should be on the bucket list for any serious college football fan.

Vanderbilt University began playing football in 1892, and since 1922 it has played at the corner of 25th Avenue South and Jess Neely Drive.

The game day atmosphere begins in the grassy tailgating fields beyond the outfield fence of Elton Pollak Field, where fans fire up grills, watch early games, and play cornhole or participate in any of the other tailgating staples.

History, heritage, hard hits, and hoagies all come together as a part of the gameday experience at Acrisure Stadium, the home of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Seeing a game at Penn State is a must for any college football fan.

It may be difficult to believe, but this concrete stadium in the woods of suburban Massachusetts is actually a trendsetter in the world of stadium design. While the stadium itself doesn’t break any new ground, especially when compared to the new billion-dollar behemoths being built around the NFL today, the live/work/play community surrounding Gillette Stadium has become a must-have feature in many new facility designs.

Shadek Stadium is a simple stadium, located within a pleasant area of Lancaster.

The fans win the day at Bobcat Stadium, making the atmosphere what it is.

Opened in 1925, Drake Stadium plays host to Drake Bulldogs football and hosts the annual Drake Relays, one of the biggest track and field events in the nation.

Elliot Field is another example of a fine facility that may be easily overlooked by fans who ignore the lower levels of college football. While far from the bright lights of big time college football, facilities like this offer quality football at affordable prices.

Spoiler alert – big things are happening in the Rio Grande Valley; since 2022, the football-crazed denizens of the valley have been waiting with bated breath for the arrival on the field of the new UTRGV Vaqueros.

If you are in the Houston area, or are willing to make the trip, I would definitely recommend a visit to Shell Energy Stadium to see Texas Southern football.

With a picturesque view of downtown Houston in the distance, and overlooking both the HCU soccer and baseball fields, Husky Stadium is a wonderful stadium in the Football Championship Subdivision.

John L. Guidry Stadium has a solid atmosphere for football – there is a good crowd on hand, and they offer several amenities to create a pleasant time for fans.

The largest sports and entertainment venue in Corpus Christi, Texas, American Bank Center, will soon have a new name.

The one true draw in terms of atmosphere at American Bank Center is its location; I would hazard that very few venues in North America allow visitors to gaze out onto palm tree-lined beaches and rolling waves.

The DC Defenders are the newest football team in the Washington, D.C. area. Originally a member of the second incarnation of the XFL in 2020

The Indiana Valor are member of the Women's Football Alliance and began play as an expansion franchise in 2025.

News broke on Monday, April 7th that the Sam Houston State Bearkats will play their entire home slate of football games away from home this season.

Football can arguably be compared to an organized religion in the state of Texas.
