Ypsilanti, MI

Every fall fans come out to Rynearson Stadium, the home of the Eastern Michigan Eagles to watch the team battle their MAC foes. The stadium was built and constructed in time for the 1969 football season. The Eagles made their debut at the stadium on September 27, 1969 against Akron. The stadium was named after Elton Rynearson who coached 26 season at Eastern Michigan.
 

When it opened the stadium had roughly 15,500 seats and was built at a cost of $1.4 million. Five years after its opening the seating capacity was increased to 22,227 and lighting was added for night games. The latest improvements and expansions came in the 1990’s. Before the 1991 season, a type of Astroturf known as StadiaTurf was installed at Rynearson Stadium. The following year, the seating capacity was increased to its current capacity of 30,200 with the addition of seats on the east side. A new scoreboard and the pressbox was expanded during this time. Fans still come out to Rynearson Stadium to see quality football being played.
