College Gridirons-Fred Yager Stadium-Miami-OH Redhawks

Fred Yager Stadium
Oxford, OH

Over the past twenty years of games played at Fred Yager Stadium, no games are as popular as the one between the Miami-OH Redhawks and the Cincinnati Bearcats as they battle for the Victory Bell. Although football has been played at Miami for over 110 years, the team has spent the past twenty plus years at Fred Yager Stadium. A new stadium for the Redhawks was constructed and completed by the 1983 football season.

The team made their debut at the stadium on October 1, 1983 against Western Michigan. The stadium was named after Fred Yager, a 1914 graduate of Miami who supported the athletics department. When the facility opened it had a seating capacity of 25,000. Before the start of the 1995 season, 5,000 seats were added to the stadium giving its current capacity of just over 30,000. Fans continue to come out each fall to watch quality football and to watch Cincinnati and Miami square off for the annual Victory Bell. This annual match up is ranked fifth on the list of most-played rivalries in college football.
