Vanderbilt University: Vanderbilt Stadium

While it isn’t an Ivy League school, Vanderbilt University is renowned as one of the top private college institutes in America. It is known for transformative education, research, and its football team. So why haven’t they taken better care of their football stadium?

Built in 1922 on what was known as Dudley Field, it was the first football-only stadium built in the South. It has been the Vanderbilt Commodores’ home since it opened and hosted the Tennessee Oilers/Titans pro-NFL team. But it’s also the smallest stadium in the southern conference, holding just over 40,000 people; it also hasn’t had any upgrades since 1981.
