College Gridirons-Dix Stadium-Kent State Golden Flashes

Dix Stadium
Kent, OH

Located in Kent, OH, Dix Stadium has been the home of the Golden Flashes for over three decades. By the mid 1960�s, a new stadium was needed for the football program. In 1969, construction began and was completed by the fall of that year, giving the Golden Flashes a new home.

The stadium was named in honor of Robert Dix, a member of the Kents Board of Trustees. Over the years, the capacity at Dix Stadium has remained unchanged at nearly 30,000. Within the past ten years, there have been several additions to the stadium. Lights were added in 1996, the grass field was replaced by Astroturf, and a new video/scoreboard has been added. The stadium consists of four separate single tier grandstands on each side of the field.
