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.

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.

Connecticut football games at The Rent are an enjoyable experience. The stadium is nothing spectacular, and the atmosphere can fall flat at times, but what The Rent lacks in character, it makes up for in convenience and practicality. Despite recent success on the field, the potential of a UConn football experience may never be reached unless they move to a venue on campus.

Faught Stadium on the campus of Franklin College offers a cozy atmosphere for college football in Franklin, Indiana.

Finley Stadium has served as the home field for the Mocs since 1997 and offers a superb game day experience.
