Heartland Heroes: 17 Iconic College Stadiums in the Midwest

10. Memorial Stadium – Bloomington, Indiana

Nestled in the scenic campus of Indiana University, Memorial Stadium, also known as "The Rock," is a venue rich in tradition and Hoosier pride. Opened in 1960, the stadium can accommodate over 52,000 fans and is characterized by its unique limestone façade, a nod to Indiana’s geological heritage. The stadium’s atmosphere is bolstered by the passionate Hoosier fanbase and the rousing tunes of the Marching Hundred. Game days at Memorial Stadium are a celebration of community and school spirit. The pre-game tailgates, the iconic Hoosier chants, and the unveiling of the "Victory Flag" after a win are moments that define the experience. Despite its relatively young history compared to other Midwest stadiums, Memorial Stadium has carved its place as a symbol of perseverance and pride for Indiana fans.
