Stadium Reviews

It sounds cliche to say they pull out all the stops at North Dakota State football games, but at Fargodome they actually do! The fun begins with tailgating outside; if you park on the west side you’ll literally have to walk through a sea of gold and green tents to get to the venue (more on this later). Then, once you get inside, there are lights and festivities galore.

Robert W. Plaster Stadium underwent some massive renovations as part of the transition, and now boasts new field turf, enhanced concessions, and upgraded LED lighting. The new lighting is even used as part of the game day atmosphere – the lights are strobed and the stadium darkened at key moments in the game, including before kickoff and at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

The gameday atmosphere in Lubbock is top notch. The Red Raiders have averaged more than 55.000 fans per game since at least 2015, ranking in the top 30 nationally and consistently playing games at well above 90% capacity. Fans can get loosened up and game ready by visiting one of two tailgating areas.

Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium is in Fayetteville, Arkansas, on the campus of the University of Arkansas. The stadium is on the west side of campus and has been home to the Arkansas Razorbacks football team since 1938. In that timespan the Hogs have played 336 games and won more than 62 percent of those contests.

Powers Field at Princeton Stadium opened on September 19, 1998 with a win over Cornell.

Opened in 1895, Franklin Field in Philadelphia, PA is recognized as the oldest still-active stadium in all of college football. The facility originally had wooden stands, which were rebuilt with concrete in 1922, with the upper deck added in 1925. This 130-plus-year-old stadium even served as the home field of the Philadelphia Eagles back in the 1950s and 60s, in the days before the team changed their logo to the modern version used today.

W.B. Mason Stadium is smaller facility which fits perfectly into the fabric of tiny Stonehill College. Now that the Skyhawks are a full-fledged member of Division One, they are no longer a program in transition, but the game day experience continues to evolve.

The history and longevity of the Panda Game provides an atmosphere that is unlike any in Canadian university football. TD Place Stadium is a great venue for the game and provides the perfect situation for the schools involved. Definitely a bucket list item for Canadian football fans.

B. T. Harvey Stadium opened in 1983 and holds a total of 9,000 spectators. While the facility itself has fallen into disrepair, the venue still boasts a great band (the “House of Funk”), wonderful concessions, and fabulous sightlines. Unfortunately, very few fans attend games here.

Kyle Field is the original home of the 12th Man. Texas A&M has owned the trademark since 1990, but the tradition dates back to 1922. That year, Texas A&M played Centre College, the number 1-ranked team in the country. The Aggies suffered so many injuries during the game that Coach Bible feared he wouldn’t have enough players to finish the contest, so he called former player E. King Gill down to the sideline.
