Memorial Stadium is the football home of the Indiana Hoosiers in Bloomington, Indiana, seating about 52,000-53,000. It hosts the program's Big Ten home games and is nicknamed 'The Rock.' The on-campus bowl gives Hoosier football a classic Big Ten atmosphere, with tailgating and campus energy surrounding game days. Its size and tradition-laden touches make it a distinctive stop on the Big Ten football circuit.
Opened in 1960, the stadium has undergone major end-zone renovations and expansions over the decades. It is home to 'Hep's Rock,' a limestone boulder honoring late coach Terry Hoeppner that the team touches before taking the field, a tradition central to the program's identity. The stadium also displays artifacts from the World War II battleship USS Indiana, tying Hoosier football to the state's broader military history.
