 Doyt
Perry
Stadium
Bowling Green,
OH
Known for its school colors of
burnt orange and seal brown, and the school mascot of the Falcon, Doyt Perry
Stadium has been the home of the football team since 1966. For nearly
four decades, prior to moving into Doyt Perry Stadium, the football
team played at University Stadium. However, by the mid 1960s the
stadium was beginning to show its age and the time had arisen for a
new facility to be built for the football program. Money was allotted and
construction on a new stadium began and was completed in 1966.

Originally known as BGSU Stadium, the Falcons played their first game
at the stadium on October 1, 1966 against Dayton. When it opened, the
stadium had a capacity of just over 23,000. Over the years, there have
been several additions to the stadium, including the addition of
bleachers in both endzones in 1982. A stadium club housing 106 luxury
seats and the Presidents box was constructed on the west side of
the stadium. In 1992, BGSU Stadium was renamed in honor of former
Falcons coach and athletic director, Doyt L. Perry. Today, Doyt Perry
Stadium has a seating capacity of 23,724 consisting of single tier
grandstands on both sides of the playing field and in the endzones.
Before the start of the 2007 season, the grass playing field was
replaced by Fieldturf. Furthermore, the north endzone was removed
allowing for the construction of the Sebo Athletic Center. |
