Delaware Stadium
Newark, United States
The ground sits in Newark, a town where football is the only game that matters on a Tuesday night in October. The stadium has changed shape more than most clubs change managers. It opened on November 15, 1952, with 9,000 seats.
The surface is artificial, installed in July 2017 after decades of natural grass and mud. The field itself carries the name Tubby Raymond Field, dedicated on August 29, 2002, though the stadium retains its original title.
The attendance record is a subject of debate. The university lists 23,619 for a game against Temple on October 27, 1973. The stadium has hosted other events: the 1984 NCAA Division I Men's Lacrosse Championship, the 1986 Final Four, and annual commencement ceremonies where President Joe Biden has spoken. It also hosts the Delaware Interscholastic Athletic Association high school football state championships, including the 2015, 2017, and 2023 finals. The address is 625 S College Ave, and the website is bluehens.com.
