Closest Stadium To Your Home

We know what team you support but what FBS or FCS stadium is closest to you?

For me I live 49 miles north of:

I'm about equidistant from Raymond James (Buccaneers and USF) and Sun Life (Dolphins and The U). The closest FCS school would be Bethune Cookman, but that's still over 200 miles away. Hopefully FGCU starts football at the FCS level at some point in the future.

[Catbooster]

Maybe 1/2 mile from Bobcat Stadium - about a five minute walk. Since a bunch of you are listing several... only about 200 miles from the next closest one over in Missoula.

[ngineer]

Unfortunately the closest collegiate stadium to me is Laughyette's Fisher Field, about 3 miles to the east. Luckily, Goodman is only 10 miles to the southwest and is able to 'neutralize' the bad vibes emitted from College Hill. (;-) In addition, D3 Moravian College's Steel Field is about 9 miles to the west.

[Pard4Life]

Not sure of the mileage, but either Princeton Stadium, Franklin Field, Villanova Stadium, Lincoln Financial Field (hey it counts).

[Mr. C]

When I'm at my home in the Philly suburbs, Villanova is 30 minutes away, with Penn and Princeton about 45 minutes out. In about an hour, or two-hour radius, I can get to Towson, Morgan State, Delaware, Delaware State, Lehigh, Lafayette, Monmouth, Wagner, Fordham and Stony Brook. It is a fun place to live for FCS.

When I'm at my house outside of Boone, N.C., Appalachian State is 30 minutes away. There are a lot of other schools within a three-hour striking distance, like Wofford, Furman, Elon, Davidson, Winston-Salem State (almost FCS), North Carolina A&T, North Carolina Central, Western Carolina. Liberty is just a little further out and I used to be a couple of hours away from East Tennessee State.

The halfway point between my two homes is quite literally James Madison University. It's 4 1/2 hours in between.

[TheRevSFA]

Rice Stadium and Robertson Stadium (U of Houston) are 50 miles away. Same with reliant stadium. 80 miles to Provost Humphrey Stadium (Lamar) 120 to Bowers Stadium (Sam) and around that same distance to PV A&M and a little more to Kyle field (A&M)

Most importantly it is 191 miles from my front door to my tailgating spot in Nacogdoches

I live about 5 miles from GaTech/Grant Field and about 7 miles from the Ga Dome (home of GaState).

[49RFootballNow]

Probably UNC Charlotte by maybe 10 or 15 minutes. App second

If you're 15 minutes from UNC Charlotte, there's a good chance Aggie Stadium (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aggie_Stadium_(North_Carolina_A%26T)), BB&T Field (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BB%26T_Field) and Bowman Gray (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bowman_Gray_Stadium) are closer to you than Kidd-Brewer.

[GSUEagles#1]

60 Miles from Sanford Stadium (UGAY)
29 Miles from Bobby Dodd (Tech)

31 Miles from the Georgia Dome (Gstate)

[WataugaDave]

If you're 15 minutes from UNC Charlotte, there's a good chance Aggie Stadium (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aggie_Stadium_(North_Carolina_A%26T)), BB&T Field (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BB%26T_Field) and Bowman Gray (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bowman_Gray_Stadium) are closer to you than Kidd-Brewer.

Winston-Salem State plays (rather good, from what I've heard) D-II football in Bowman Gray.

Also, it depends. If he was 15 minutes west, like say Gastonia, Boone would probably be closer.

Two miles, five minutes to Murray Goodman parking, then I need a few hour break and a few energy drinks for the five minute walk to the stadium.

25 minute drive to that other school in the LEHIGH Valley.

About 75 miles southwest of Husky Stadium along the banks of the Mississippi River in St. Cloud
About 72 miles northeast of the Regional Event Center, home of the Southwest State Golden Mustangs

About 60 miles northwest of Hollingsworth Field in St. Peter, hangout for the Golden Gusties of Gustavus Adolphus

JC- About 44 miles southeast of Hodapp Field, where the Ridgewater Warriors share the field with the Willmar HS Cardinals.

I'm not counting all of the other D3 schools that are in the Twin Cities.

I'm also two and a half miles from Buffalo Lake where I played in high school, and two and a half miles from Hector who was our biggest rivals. Now the two have combined with Stewart. So maybe I live in the center of the universe. xsmiley_wix

I've been to the Shoe, and every other Big Ten school. Game day atmosphere is amazing. That noisy monolith, the flag raising ceremony, Script Ohio- pretty impressive. Gopher games pale in comparison.

I think ASU Fanatic meant that UNCC is 15 minutes closer to him than ASU, not that he was 15 minutes from UNCC. His location is given as "L-town" which I am going to guess is Lincolnton (or thereabouts) so not particularly close to the Triad (at least in comparison to Boone).

Thanks for that note tribefan...I probably should have clarified that Robins is the closest out of conference FCS stadium.

51 miles to Johnson Hagood Stadium, but I can get to SC State 15 minutes faster (56 miles, but no Charleston traffic).

[MplsBison]

Obviously the U of Minn's stadium is the closest for me.

For FCS I figured NDSU, SDSU and UNI would be reasonably equidistant and they basically are. Fargo is a bit farther than Brookings and Cedar Falls but not significantly.

Now, most certainly markets like Duluth, St. Cloud, Mankato, Eau Claire and La Crosse could support FCS football. But...no dice so far.

Actually you are the one who is engaging in a fallacy. You conflate "markets" with "schools". It isn't a market that defines a school's ability to support a sports team. People from Menominee aren't going to go to Eau Claire just to watch a football game. Most of the schools on your list wouldn't be able to engage alumni or community support to support a budget required to be in FCS, so the market is completely irrelevant.

I went to St. Cloud State and got my Master's Degree at UWEC so I know what I'm talking about.

OK, I'm sure the stadium in Montana offers a smaller chance to get stabbed. Does that frame it better?

[Grizalltheway]

Right, and I believe you said the Rose Bowl was the best stadium in the country, which makes your comment about stadiums in Montana completely irrelevant.

As I said, correctly the first time, markets like Duluth, St. Cloud, Mankato, Eau Claire and LaCrosse are capable of supporting a FCS program.

When it comes to D2 schools, I'm about 40 minutes from Laidley Field in Charleston, WV. It's used by the University of Charleston, a number of local high schools, and seats 18,500.

As for FCS schools, Morehead State is about an hour down the road. They play in Jayne Stadium:

Anything else is 400+ miles, and Lubbock... not really the direction we look around here. The distances are why the BSC and Southland are not great fits for the NMSU Aggies.

Altitude counts, which is most of New Mexico and northern Arizona, in making the climate more hospitable. Santa Fe and Flagstaff can cost ya, but the rest is affordable. Las Cruces is a big retirement zone for ex-military and federal service workers. You are a small town guy, and that will expand your options to include smaller places like Silver City (college town-WNMU-a few hours to Tucson) and Ruidoso (a few hours to El Paso), and the whole region to the north of Santa Fe. Albuquerque is 600K+ at a mile high and I like it. UNM has had horrible fball, but Bob Davies has them relevant in his first season. Tickets are easy to come by, and I think the town will return to University Stadium ... where are you gonna go?

There's rumors flying around the MVC (not the MVFC) that NMSU (and maybe Denver as well) might end up in the MVC for all sports except football given that NMSU was in it at one other point.


Most fans seem willing to accept them back as well.

Hey thanks, that is good info. When I was in grad school I talked to the recruiters from Los Alamos- obviously didn't get the job and stayed in Minnesota. I've been to El Paso for the Sun Bowl, to Las Cruces on a visit. I've been warned about Phoenix by relatives- had one relative and also a HS classmate who loved Flagstaff. You are right on about being a small town, actually farm, boy. I'll have to do some more research- the cold get to me more each year!

[BucBisonAtLarge]

Wow, if NMSU entered the MVFC... we would get a YSU game every couple of years a few hours away, instead of the two-day juggernauts to MSU, WIU, UNI, and the Dakotas. The drive to Fargo this year was an adventure, but Las Cruces would feel next-door. Anything to avoid driving through Nebraska...

Its crazy that New York City is the largest city in the United States and it doesn't have a top notch College Football team. I always think about it. College Football is simply not popular in NYC. People don't get crazy about it. There is large alumni bases of schools outside of NYC that may care but for the most part CFB is not relevant. NFL NYG/NYJ own the town...

How close are you to campus? I like this thread, it's interesting to see where everyone is.

But I think myself and some Udel fans already said it, and I doubt you're any closer than I am :p

[LeeshaJo]

Sadly I am closest to USD's Dakota Dome (30 miles)

133 miles to Brookings (SDSU)

179 miles to Lincoln, Neb.

Fargo and Cedar Falls are both about 300 miles

Minneapolis about 350

10 mins from Sun Devil Stadium

http://www.panoramas.com/images/T/ASU2.jpg
Visited Tuscaloosa on business and our local manager, an alum of Alabama, drove me around the campus. seemed like a real nice place. Was amazed at the size of the parking lot which appeared to have a capacity of a few hundred, if that many, cars. My guide told me people park everywhere and that if you are not tailgating post game you need to park a mile or so away so that you can actually get out.

Also, I am not comfortable with heights and that the recent add ons above the end zones are not for me.

Anyway, really enjoyed the unofficial tour with a bit of history thrown in and bought a Bama tee shirt. Roll Tide.

Whoops, my bad, quoted the wrong post.

45 minutes from Cowell Stadium, home of the longest nationally ranked and entrant into the FCS playoffs, the UNH Wildcats!

Spent a few minutes looking into the specifics on this...

for NH football...

I am closest to D2 St. A's as mentioned above...actual mileage = 6.4
UNH is the second closest at 27.5 mi.
D3 Plymouth State University at 48.7 mi.
Ivy- Dartmouth at 60 miles.

The closest school overall, is Southern NH University, across the river from me at 2.3 miles.

I'm about 10 minutes from Richardson Stadium (though I'd say it's barely a stadium). I live closer to Davidson than UNC-C.

This too is one of the better facilities in the nation. I had season tickets at UofL for a few years, enclosed side at the five, at they were great seats. I've sat all over this stadium and there is not a bad seat in the house. If your team ever plays UofL you need to go.

Not sure where you are in NH relative to St. A's but even if 6.4 miles north of St. A's, gotta think Worcester is marginally closer than Hanover. No??

[eaglessoar20021]

15 minutes from Paulsen. Go Eagles

[GoAgs72]

About 45 minutes south of Spartan Stadium (San Jose State) but only go to a game if UC Davis is playing them. San Jose State is doing well and might make it into a bowl game. Also about 1 hour, 15 minutes from Stanford and two hours from Cal. Takes me nearly three hours to get to Aggie games.

[boogereagle]

About 30 minutes from T.A. Wright Stadium in Savannah, home of Savannah State. 50 minutes from Paulson Stadium, Georgia Southern. Used to be closer, but lot more traffic and traffic lights now so it takes longer to navigate.
And I'll have to work Saturday and won't be at either.

[NHwildEcat]

I am Northeast of St. A's. I was listing the distances to all the football programs in the state. I have also looked at the distances for all D1 football in New England.

From my house Holy Cross is almost equal to Dartmouth...HC is 60.2 miles away. The closest out of state school is Harvard at 51.4 miles. FBS, BC is closest at 53.3 miles.

The furthest school is Maine at 188 miles. That is direct milage, not driving milage...it would be a great deal more miles I assume to drive up to Orono. Something I have thought about, and have never decided yes.

FBS 3.4 Miles to Gerald J. Ford Stadium @ SMU

[CHIP72]

I think the closest stadiums in Division I-A and Division I-AA (never liked the FBS and FCS designations are):

Byrd Stadium (University of Maryland)
Greene Stadium (Howard University)
Multi-Sport Field (Georgetown University)

All 3 of the above are within 10 miles of where I live. Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium (which has a great, great setting BTW) is about 30 miles away.

Fisher Stadium (Lafayette) and Goodman Stadium (Lehigh) are both within 15 miles of where I grew up.
