UB Stadium, home of the
University of Buffalo Bulls is the newest stadium in the Mid America
Conference. Prior to its opening in 1993, the football team had
played at the old UB Stadium. It was a small stadium with a capacity
of roughly 5,000. By the late 1980s, the university decided to build
a new state of the art facility for the football team and other
sports.
In September 1991 construction of a new stadium
commenced
and was completed by the start of the 1993 football season. The Bulls
played their first game at UB Stadium on September 4, 1993 against the
University of Maine. The $23
million stadium has a seating capacity of 31,000 that includes 12
luxury suites. Single tier grandstands, broken apart, surround the
gridiron. Other than being the home to the football team, UB Stadium
is home to the track team.
