Doyt L. Perry Stadium is an outdoor multi-purpose athletic facility serving as the home field for the Bowling Green State University (BGSU) Falcons football team. Opened in 1966, the stadium features a natural grass playing surface and has a seating capacity of approximately 24,000 spectators. It is named after Doyt Perry, the legendary head coach who led the Falcons to a 77-11-5 record between 1955 and 1964. The structure consists of double-decked seating on the west side and traditional bowl-style seating on the east. The facility is located on the eastern edge of the BGSU campus in Bowling Green, Ohio. It regularly hosts collegiate football games throughout the autumn months. In recent years, the stadium has undergone upgrades to its scoreboard and training facilities to maintain competitive standards.
