Toledo, OH

The Glass Bowl is one of the oldest stadiums in the MAC conference dating back to the 1930’s. The stadium was built as part of President Franklin Roosevelt’s Work Projects Administration programs to help put people back to work during the hard times surrounding the Great Depression. A stadium was needed in the Toledo area and by the 1930’s construction began on a new facility. Named the Glass Bowl, the stadium opened in 1937 and has been the home of the Toledo Rockets football program.
 

Over the years, there have been few additions and changes to the stadium. In 1975 a new modernized scoreboard was installed at the Glass Bowl. Fifteen years later in 1990, the seating capacity was increased from 18,500 to its current capacity of just over 26,000. This addition also included a new three story press box that includes 40 luxury suites and 400 club seats. Fans still come out each fall to support their local football team.
