Welcome to New Ryan Field — the first NFL-type stadium in college football.
The new Ryan Field will be the best place in America to watch a football game, soccer match or concert. It’s the first NFL-type stadium in college football and will be among the nicest stadiums in the world — and by far the nicest stadium or arena ever built in the Chicago area.

The first thing you’ll notice as a fan at New Ryan Field is that you’re closer to the action than any stadium of this size. Unlike the classic stadiums designed in the 1920s, New Ryan Field leverages modern engineering to on top of the action.
Twice the capacity of a typical arena, with better sightlines than most of them. New Ryan Field is the death of the nosebleed seat.


The stadium itself is 320,000 square feet larger than the old Ryan Field — with fewer seats, in service of a premium experience for every fan. Not a smaller stadium — the first of its kind.
