Bridgeforth Stadium and Zane Showker Field, Football stadium at James Madison University, Harrisonburg, Virginia, US.
Bridgeforth Stadium and Zane Showker Field is a two-level facility with seating for approximately 24,900 spectators, offering premium suites and a club area for members. The venue includes multiple concession stands, restrooms, a merchandise shop, and a large video display for real-time game information.
The facility opened in 1975 with initial seating of 5,200 and gradually transformed over decades. A major renovation in 2011 significantly expanded capacity and introduced contemporary amenities to the venue.
Fans and students gather here to watch James Madison University Dukes football and experience the traditions that bring the campus community together. Game days create moments of shared excitement and connection among supporters.
Plan to arrive early on game days to secure parking and smooth entry, as crowds are substantial during events. The facility is well-equipped with services but becomes quite busy, especially during popular matchups.
The venue experienced a memorable moment when it hosted a record crowd exceeding 26,000 spectators during a matchup with a nearby rival. This remarkable attendance demonstrated the growing passion and support for the university's program.
