University of Delaware Venues

Delaware Stadium (Tubby Raymond Field) was completed in 1952 and after renovations in 2020 and 2021, came the addition of the Whitney Athletic Center. Delaware Stadium is home to the Blue Hens football team as well as both the Blue Hens men's and women's lacrosse programs since 2010.

The stadium served as a host site of NCAA Division I Men's Lacrosse tournament competition four times, most recently in 2017 for the Men's Division I Lacrosse Quarterfinals.

Delaware Stadium has undergone extensive renovations throughout the years, including the installment of a new synthetic FieldTurf surface that was installed in July, 2017. Also included in the renovations were new bleachers, eight poles of permanent broadcast-quality lights (2000), and handrails installed throughout the stadium seating areas (2011). The most recent renovation was the addition of a new Daktronics videoboard in the north end zone.

In 2002, the Delaware Stadium playing surface was dedicated as Tubby Raymond Field, recognizing Delaware's College Football Hall of Fame head coach who retired following the 2001 season after compiling 300 victories in 36 seasons. Raymond passed away in December, 2017.

Other events held in the stadium include the annual Blue-Gold Delaware High School Football All-Star game and University of Delaware graduation ceremonies.

The Whitney Athletic Center opened its doors in 2021. The facility houses performance nutrition, strength & conditioning, athletic training rooms, academic spaces and student athlete development and compliance offices.

On the first floor of the multi-million dollar facility, you can find the main athletic training room which includes three hydrotherapy pools and provides athletes with direct access to the Flacco Strength & Conditioning Center. The Flacco Strength & Conditioning Center provides athletes with a 10,000 sq. foot state of the art strength and conditioning center outfitted with 14 double-sided Sorinex squat racks and a 15-yard turf field directly attached to it.

Just outside of the Flacco Strength & Conditioning Center and the athletic training room is the sports performance nutrition center where athletes can have a grab-and-go breakfast, smoothies, cooking demos, and snacks throughout the day.

The second floor includes the Puglisi Family Cardio Mezzanine with multiple treadmills, stationary bikes, and other cardio equipment. Outside the Puglisi Family Cardio Mezzanine is the student-athlete academic success suite that houses student-athlete development, career, and NCAA compliance offices. Across the hall is the Sparks Student Success Suite and the Whitney Kitchen. The Whitney Kitchen is open to all UD students and can be added as part of a student's meal plan.

Off of the Whitney Kitchen is the Stadium Club and the President's Suite to enjoy football and lacrosse  games in Delaware Stadium in comfort.

The top floor of the Whitney is home to the Delaware Stadium press box as well as individual booths for press, media, coaches for both teams, broadcasting, and game day operations. Suites are also provided for the Athletic Directors for both schools at any given event at Delaware Stadium.
