Johnny “Red” Floyd Stadium

Johnny "Red" Floyd Stadium is the home of the Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders football team in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. The on-campus stadium hosts the Blue Raiders in Conference USA and sits near the heart of the MTSU campus, giving game days a compact, student-driven energy. Tailgating fills the surrounding lots on fall Saturdays, and the stadium's relatively intimate bowl keeps crowd noise close to the field. It remains the centerpiece of Blue Raider athletics in a fast-growing middle Tennessee community.

The stadium dates to 1933, built during the Depression era as MTSU's first true football home, and was officially renamed for longtime coach and athletic director Johnny "Red" Floyd in 1968 after decades of service to the program. It has been expanded and renovated multiple times over the ensuing decades to keep pace with the Blue Raiders' rise to FBS competition. The stadium has hosted Conference USA football since MTSU joined the league, anchoring a program known for high-scoring, pass-heavy offenses under coaches like Rick Stockstill. It remains a symbol of MTSU's growth alongside booming Murfreesboro.
