Delaware Stadium

Delaware Stadium is a sports facility in Newark that holds about 22,000 spectators and serves mainly for university football games and other athletic events. The venue has concrete seating sections arranged across the grounds, with multiple entrances and parking areas surrounding the facility.

The facility began operations in 1952 with an opening game where the home team faced off against Lafayette and won. This first game marked the start of a long tradition of university sports on this ground.

The field carries the name Tubby Raymond Field since 2002, honoring the legendary University of Delaware football coach whose decades of work shaped the program. This naming reflects how much his legacy means to students and alumni who follow the team.

The stadium has ample parking near the grounds, making it easy for visitors to find a spot. It is best to arrive early on game days to secure better spots and avoid long queues at the entrances.

The stadium held the record as the state's largest sports facility for many years and experienced peak attendance during a 1973 matchup against Temple. This high turnout reflects how central football games have been to the local community.
