YOUNGSTOWN — The 2007 football season at Youngstown State will mark the 25th anniversary of Stambaugh Stadium.
On Sept. 4, 1982 Stambaugh Stadium was officially dedicated as the first on-campus football facility in the school's history.
The 25th anniversary will be observed Sept. 8 when the Penguins entertain South Dakota State.
"We are very proud to center our 2007 football marketing efforts around the 25th anniversary of our great stadium," Ron Strollo, Executive Director of Athletics, said. "As a former player, I can fully attest to the true homefield advantage Stambaugh provides and the tremendous atmosphere that Penguin tailgaters and fans bring to this campus every Saturday in the fall."
Part of that celebration will be the selection of the five greatest football games played at Stambaugh and with the 25 greatest players to play a game there. YSU fans will be asked to vote on each.
