 Vanderbilt
Stadium
Nashville, TN
Home of the Vanderbilt Commodores, Vanderbilt
Stadium is the smallest stadium in the SEC. In 1922, a stadium was
constructed on the site and was known as Dudley Field. It was the
first stadium built in the south just for college football. The
Commodores played their first game at the stadium on October 14, 1922
against Michigan. The stadium originally had a capacity of 20,000 and
was named after Dr. William Dudley, Dean of the Medical College and
football activist.

The first addition to Vanderbilt Stadium occurred
before the 1937 season when bleachers were placed in the open end of
the horseshoe stadium. Expansion also occurred before the 1949 and
1960 season when additions occurred on the east and west sides of the
stadium boosting the capacity to 34,000. Lights were added in 1954 and
artificial turf was installed in 1970. The majority of Dudley Stadium
was demolished in the early 1980’s as part of a $10.1 million
construction project of a new stadium on the same site. A new stadium
was constructed and today seats 41,000 fans. A one tier grandstand in
a horseshoe shape encloses the field. Other than being the home of the
Vanderbilt Commodores, the stadium was the home of the Tennessee Oilers (NFL) in 1998. |
