I’ve been in some small stadiums that seated about 20k and some stadiums that even had a seating capacity of 10k or even 8k but I wasn’t so sure about that 8k stadium, mybe it was an arena?
How small does an arena have to be an gymnasium?
A gymnasium can seat about 2000 but bleachers can safely hold 2000 or 200
So bleachers can hold 200 but a gazebo probably can hold about 100 like the gazebo the Tulsa hurricanes have on campus
Gazebos are bigger than the lowly bench which is good for about 4 spectators which leaves musical chairs but only one can sit down and grab a beer smoke a cigar and look at the puddle that one day might become a pond, “ OMG!, Iam gonna need more beer...
Cheers untill next season

FIU. Great stadium for them but horrible when compared to most college football stadiums around the country.

They had no room in the press box for our coaches so they were on top of the box with folding canopies as a roof. Very bush league.

"Okay Field" at Okay High School in Okay, Oklahoma.

8-man football. Capacity: Whatever 2 or 3 of those small metal bleacher sets hold.

The football field was part of the outfield on the baseball field. They would just take the back fence down.

Memphis held a scrimmage at Rhodes College's Crain Field which holds just over 4,000

College: Tulane, then WF, Duke.

Overall: My high school. Maybe 2k?

Morrisville, PA High School. Maybe 800 capacity? A school my high school played in Lower Bucks County.

Villanova
(UNC) Charlotte

I've never been in the stadium, but driven past their water "tower" (tank) so many times I immediately thought of them.



Mustang Stadium in Fort Hancock, Texas.


BTW, that line of green below the mountains is the Rio Grande. The mountains are the Sierra de San Ignacio in the State of Chihuahua.

For college it was while UMass was still in FCS and prior to Northeastern dropping football. Went to an away game there: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parsons_Field

7000 capacity.


My high school seats less than 1000 these days I'm pretty sure (no actual stats on it). That's also now, as compared to when I was a student there and before they made any updates to it.

Guilford College (D3)

My brother played there for 4 years. Went to lots of his home games and several away games. Tiny little facility.

Technically, I suppose the smallest I've been to is Broken Arrow HS, which isn't small lol. Capacity? ~12K

Highly doubt he’s been in that.

To almost quote Bill Clinton....'That depends on what your definition of "in" is.

The smallest college football stadium I've ever been to is DIII Heidelberg's Hoernemann Stadium with a capacity of 1,400. I don't think I've even been to a high school stadium that small.



I think the smallest FBS stadium I've been to is Bowling Green's Doyt Perry Stadium.

I've been to several six man football "stadiums" in Texas, which consist of nothing but a few small sets of bleachers holding less than 200 people, maybe less than 100.

Yeah WF seemed tiny when I went to a game back in 2006ish.

It's a beautiful stadium too. Feels like a small college stadium.

I grew up going to Wake games, the earliest being back around 1990. The addition of Deacon Tower DRAMATICALLY changed that place... 31,500 seats.
