Football

The home field for the Catamounts is Bob Waters Field at A.J. Whitmire Stadium.

The Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles recently completed a $60 million renovation of Tucker Stadium, completely rebuilding the west side of their football venue. Changes included adding chairback seating, drink rails, club seating, luxury suites, and all-new concessions.

Art Keller Field is a wonderful football stadium near the shores of Lake Michigan. The student center is underneath the home stands, giving football fans access to a full team store and great concession options. The team also has a great mascot, and there is comfortable, backed seating on both sides of the field.

The completion of the first two phases of The Seagram Project is a welcome change for Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks football fans. The new Knight-Newbrough Field @ University Stadium offers fans a great spot for a fall afternoon of university football and a break from the construction is also a plus.

Less than two miles away from the historic Yale Bowl in West Haven, CT is another Division One football venue. This one is far less revered, far less visited, and much more blue.

The Toronto Argonauts continue to fight and claw their way into the consciousness of the local sports fan in Toronto. Taking in an Argo game at BMO Field is definitely a positive experience, one that more fans need to experience.

Zuglo retains its working class background. The ‘proper’ old floodlights, can be seen for miles. The eclectic mix of stands and the railway’s ongoing presence combine to make this a real experience.

The Beloit Buccaneers football team competes in the NCAA’s Division III, and while their home facility, Strong Stadium, is dated, their fans are as loud and vocal as can be.

The University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire football team is nicknamed the Blugolds, a creative play on their team colors. The Blugold band is ginormous, boasting 400-475 members, which is about half the size of the school’s total student-athlete total population.

The Waterloo Warriors continue to provide a good atmosphere for USports football. Hopefully, the Warriors will break through and get to that elusive Vanier Cup and make the Black and Yellow proud.
