Eddie Robinson Stadium, Football stadium in Grambling, Louisiana, US
Eddie Robinson Stadium is a multi-purpose venue in Grambling that seats approximately 19,600 and serves as the home field for Grambling State University Tigers football. The facility features modern artificial turf, digital scoreboards, and comprehensive press facilities designed to support college football operations.
The facility opened in 1983 as the new home for the Tigers, replacing the previous stadium used by the university. It underwent major upgrades in the 2010s, including installation of new artificial turf and improved parking infrastructure.
The stadium honours Eddie Robinson, Grambling State's head football coach, whose name the venue carries; fans also call it "The Hole" after the bowl-like topography of the site. The Grambling High School Kittens share the field with the Tigers, so the ground hosts both college and school football.
The stadium sits in a natural depression in Grambling, which shapes how the stands and field are arranged. Upgrades completed in 2017 added parking and tailgating areas around the grounds, so arriving by local roads is straightforward. The field uses artificial turf installed in that same round of work.
Local fans call the stadium "The Hole" because of how it sits within a natural depression in the landscape. This nickname has stuck with the community and remains part of how people here talk about their home field.
