Delaware Stadium in Newark holds a unique place in FCS football lore, hosting the University of Delaware Fightin’ Blue Hens since 1952. With a capacity near 18,800, it’s the largest sporting venue in the state—tucked into a campus known for its colonial-inspired architecture and storied history. On Saturdays, fans gather hours before kickoff for vibrant tailgates along Stadium Drive, decked out in blue and gold, eager to continue the Blue Hen tradition. Notable expansions over the years introduced modern seating, upgraded lighting, and a crisp scoreboard, enhancing the game-day experience. Through the decades, the stadium’s field has seen numerous championship runs, testament to Delaware’s proud tradition of athletic excellence.
