Rutgers University Football Stadium

 stadium, american football stadium

Home to the Scarlet Knights Football.

Overlooking the Raritan River in Piscataway, New Jersey (USA), the stadium is on the site of the first "Rutgers Stadium", which opened October 22, 1938, with a 32-0 victory over Hampden-Sydney College. The original stadium was built by the Works Project Administration during the later years of the Great Depression. The first Rutgers Stadium served the university's football program until 1992, hosting 225 football games.

During this time, Rutgers Stadium hosted the NCAA Division I Men's Lacrosse Championship on five occasions.

For several years previous to this first "Rutgers Stadium," the Rutgers football program played at Neilson Field on the College Avenue Campus in New Brunswick, New Jersey. The first intercollegiate football game, in which Rutgers beat Princeton with a score 6 to 4 on 6 November 1869, was held on a field that is now occupied by the College Avenue Gymnasium.

Was expanded by over 10,000 seats for the 2008-2009 season.

Go Scarlet Knights!
