Huskie Stadium, College football stadium at Northern Illinois University, US
The Huskie Stadium stands on the west side of Northern Illinois University campus with a concrete structure seating 23,595 spectators for athletic events.
Opening its gates on November 6, 1965, the stadium marked its first game with Northern Illinois University defeating Illinois State 48-6 in front of 18,858 attendees.
