It's way too early to give Foreman one, but I was just curious if your schools stadium's had nicknames?

I've always hated the fact that the UM stadium was named after Denny Washington. I guess I wouldn't have minded if his name wasn't also the name of a STATE, in very close proximity, but every time the announcers say "we're here at Washington-Grizzly Stadium...." it just sounds fucked up.

I wish Denny had been less egotistical and had conceded to them calling it the Grizzly "Den", or something to that effect....alas, we're stuck with Wa/Griz...

"The Rock"

In 2002, the field at Delaware Stadium was named to commemorate long-time head coach Harold "Tubby" Raymond. As such, Delaware Stadium has assumed the nickname "The Tub".

Also acceptable: "Home of the Pee Wall"

Of course, but everyone knows that one already. I was shooting for something that may be slightly more trivial to some.

I was really excited to have a pee wall at ODU (which Foreman did have when it was used for field hockey/lacrosse). Alas, the powers that be decided that we needed like a bajillion urinals instead. Anyways, back to nicknames I guess...

Villanova Statium is called "The Tub North" every other year for one game.

LOL. Yep.

JMU's will soon be 'Your field is purple!'

The Dome.

McNeese's Cowboy Stadium is nicknamed "The Hole" because it is in a hole in the ground. The lower section of the stands are below ground level and the field itself is below sea level. Of course, in this picture taken a few days after Hurricane Rita, we called it "The Lake".



This is what the visiting team sees going down the ramp to the field. We had signs made up and placed them at all the entrances when the "four amigos" headed up the Paint the Stadium Project in the summer before the 2001 season. The other signs got taken down with work done on the stadium but this one still survives. You can actually see it in the Rita picture. It is next to the ramp in the lower right hand corner on the fence against the hedge row.

"The Hole"

Stambaugh Stadium:
"The ICE CASTLE"

Our house or the Prettiest Little Stadium in America.

Harvard Stadium: "Old Hurtyourass"

Johnny Unitas Stadium - "The U"

Texas State plays on Jim Wacker Field at Bobcat Stadium. Sometimes I hear people say, "Pack the Wack". That is the closest thing that I have officially heard

However, the two that I have heard thrown around at different tailgates are

"The Trainyard"- Our stadium is located next to a busy train track. Anyone who has been to our Stadium can attest to 2 - 4 trains passing the stadium during a game. It typically gets fans fired up, and they even play special videos on the Video/Score Board.

"The Hill Country Cathedral" - I didn't hear it until last year, when the West Side Complex was completed. It just feels massive to walk in on the Alumni/home side. With our plans to build out the stadium, I think it will look pretty spectacular in a few years.

while you are all playing this game, make sure to check out your stadium in the stadium directory and see if the information is correct for stadium name / field name

Does your band typically tailgate 5 hours before the game? Either that or they need to learn to stand in a straight line...

ASU has a new field name but I can't remember/find that info online. Perhaps another App fan will know.

That's gay.

One of the only stadiums where someone can ask "Where is that event going to be at?" for about 30 different kinds of events and the answer "The Dome" will tell everyone in the state of Iowa and parts of SD, MO, IL, MN, and NE exactly what is being talked about.


Hell the high school athletic association's playoff theme is "The Road to the Dome"

It's iconic in Iowa
