O’Kelly-Riddick Stadium

O’Kelly-Riddick Stadium is the longtime home of NCCU Eagles football, a place where tradition, student life, and the pulse of the community meet under Saturday lights. With a capacity of around 10,000 and a recently upgraded FieldTurf surface, the stadium offers both modern playability and the nostalgia of a storied past. The name “O’Kelly” reaches back to Cadd G. O’Kelly, an early campus steward who helped clear the land that became the university’s first athletic field.

Over the years, O’Kelly-Riddick has hosted more than just football games, it’s the setting for NCCU’s homecoming showdowns, roaring pep rallies, spring “Maroon & Gray” scrimmage games, and signature events like the 2023 National Championship Parade and pep rally celebrating the football team’s HBCU National Championship victory.

Brooks Field at Wallace Wade Stadium

Brooks Field at Wallace Wade Stadium is a historic and modern premier sports venue that has served as the home of the Duke Blue Devils football team since 1929. Named for legendary coach Wallace Wade, the stadium has undergone extensive renovations to become one of the premier football settings in the ACC. With a capacity of over 35,000, the stadium offers an electrifying game-day atmosphere. Recent infrastructure improvements have enhanced both fan experience and broadcast capabilities while preserving the venue’s traditional atmosphere. From the modernization project, the addition of Blue Devil Tower, a new five-level press facility spanning 97,000 square feet equipped with 21 added luxury suites, and the Dollar Shave Club Devils Deck, a modern fan experience in the north end zone, have elevated the stadium’s status as a top-tier facility for both athletes and spectators. Notably, the stadium hosted the 1942 Rose Bowl, the only time the event was ever played outside of Pasadena, California. 

The surrounding complex includes the Brooks Practice Facility, complete with a full-length FieldTurf practice field, and the Brooks Football Building, making it a comprehensive destination for high-level football events.
