Stambaugh Stadium

Arnold D. Stambaugh Stadium, usually shortened to just Stambaugh Stadium, is the home of football and soccer teams at Youngstown State University in Youngstown, Ohio. Built in 1982, Stambaugh has seen the Penguins football team rise to become a power in NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision football. Stambaugh is also known by fans as the Ice Castle.

When it opened, Stambaugh had one large set of stands on the west side. However, upgrades made prior to the 1997 athletic season brought a new set of bleachers on the east side, on the site of a practice field. In addition, a new press box and increases in luxury suites, as well as a stadium club, which hosts the football team's weekly press conferences, and is rented out for private events. Currently, the stadium's capacity is 20,630--making it the largest stadium in the Missouri Valley Football Conference (previously the Gateway Conference), and one of the largest stadiums in the NCAA's Division I FCS.

In addition to hosting football and soccer home games, Stambaugh is also the home of YSU's athletic offices, football locker rooms and weight rooms, racquetball courts, ROTC offices, and visitor locker rooms.
