 Alumni
Stadium
Chestnut Hill, MA
Home of the Boston College Eagles, for more than four
decades, fans continue to come to Alumni Stadium to watch quality
football. Constructed in the 1950s, the Eagles played the first game
at the stadium on September 21, 1957 against Navy. Over three decades
passed before the first major renovation at Alumni Stadium. |
|
The first and only major renovation to the stadium was
completed prior to the 1994 football season. Nearly 20,000 seats from
the lower deck, along with the running track were removed from the
stadium. A new lower grandstand was constructed under the remaining
upper decks on the east and west sides. In addition, 24 luxury suites
were added to Alumni Stadium. Today, the stadium has a capacity of
44,500, with the main lower grandstand enclosing the entire field. Upper decks are located on all four sides of the stadium.
Fieldturf has recently replaced the Astroturf playing field. After
moving to the ACC in 2005, Boston College hopes to compete for the ACC
Championship one day.
